Targa Newfoundland is the Ultimate Motorsports Adventure. It is the only event of its kind in North America -- 2,200 km of high quality entertainment and adrenaline, packed into a week-long motorsports adventure. Targa Newfoundland is held over a seven-day period in September every year, and runs on the paved roads of the Canadian island of Newfoundland.

Targa Newfoundland allows owners of historic, classic and modern sporting cars to drive them the way they were designed to be driven. There are three ways to participate:

Targa competition: Designed for the serious entrant who enjoys speed and serious competition. Cars must be properly prepared with roll cage, safety harnesses and other safety equipment, while drivers must have an approved competition licence.  Entrants compete against the clock and each other for class honours and every competitor can win a Targa plate, a symbol of performance and consistency.

Grand Touring competition is all about precision. A traditional Distance/Speed/Time rally, the object is to match a given time as closely as possible, over a variety of driving conditions.

Targa Tour:  Enjoy all Targa Newfoundland has to offer at a more leisurely pace. The Targa Tour involves no competition and there's no need for stringent vehicle preparation either. Targa Tour is all about relaxing and enjoying the drive - just you, your baby and some awesome scenery.

All vehicles and crews utilize public roads in transit sections and follow all of the rules of the road, and "Targa" or speed sections which are held on closed roads."
