Excitement is building…

Everyone’s attention has now turned to the new Targa event in the state where they said you could never run a Targa event – Victoria. Entries have come in from everywhere with a very high number of brand new competitors tackling a Targa event for the first time.

How many have entered? How does 220 sound? Yes that’s right, two hundred and twenty making it around the same size as a Targa Tasmania competition field.

It promises to be a massive event for the region. With the course finalised last week and recce notes due out in the next two weeks, the excitement is bound to ramp up in the next month or so.

On the course we can confirm there will be 17 stages totalling 200km, with a total course of 849km, which maintains our benchmark of providing an entry fee level of $10 per competitive km on our short course events. The longest stage, Eildon will be 28.6km and run in both directions, making it the longest stage in the country outside of Targa Tasmania and the Mt. Buller Stage, which will be 16.6km and run from a different start and finish location. Added to this is the fact that the course will see 1,096 metres of elevation change, so get ready for a wild ride.

In all, don’t miss this one as it will see history made as the sport reaches new levels.
