Targa Newfoundland is the first and only event of its kind to be held in North America. It is an annual event and forms a 2,200 km long, high quality automotive adventure. It is held over a seven-day period in September of each year on the paved roads of the eastern and central parts of the island of Newfoundland. The event allows the owners of historic, classic and modern sporting motor vehicles to drive them the way they were designed to be driven. In the event each vehicle competes against itself on a handicap basis as well as against other vehicles. The competition is for Targa plates which every competitor can win. There is no prize money. Newfoundland is an ideal location for such an event. It is one of the only locations in North America that can offer the challenging roads required for such an event. Each year Targa Newfoundland attracts new entries from around the world, and has already had entries travel from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Poland, and The Netherlands to compete against the North American contingent of US and Canadian competitors. Targa Newfoundland is truly an international event. Ê Something to Ponder: The best time to make friends is before you need them.
