Targa Australia

Targa Tasmania has established itself as an annual event, conducted in April each year. The present format is to conduct the event over six days (including a Prologue) over 2,000 kilometres of tarmac roads. Targa Tasmania entrants comprise a wide range of media attracting personalities, including former world champions, well-known motorsport competitors from both Australia and overseas, and national and international celebrities. In short, this is not only a competitive motorsport event, but a unique commercial and tourist attraction capturing the imagination of the Australian public as well as the national and international motorsport fraternity. Tourism Tasmania reported that over 200,000 people watch Targa Tasmania each year over the six days and an international TV viewing audience of over 480 million has been estimated each year. Targa Tasmania has the support and backing of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport. The Tasmanian Government along with Events Tasmania, rate this special event as a major tourist attraction that provides a substantial commercial contribution to the state. Thus, Targa Tasmania is another example of the successful partnership between the Tasmanian Government and motorsport, attracting between $8 and $12 million new tourist dollars to Tasmania each year. The goal of the organisers and the Tasmanian Government has been achieved - to see Targa Tasmania develop into the premier motorsport event of its type in Australia, ranking alongside the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.
