Targa Tasmania has announced the launch of an exciting new three-day event format for 2026, Targa Trofeo. Designed as an “event within an event,” Targa Trofeo will run during the opening three days of Targa Tasmania and conclude with a ceremonial finish in Launceston on 20 November.
Created to make tarmac rallying more accessible, Targa Trofeo is open to all competitors and tour participants, offering the same regulations and competition structure as Targa Tasmania while featuring its own trophies, number plates, branding and dedicated Targa Tour. The event replaces the former Rookie Rallye and provides an ideal entry point for first-time participants, those returning to the sport, or crews seeking a shorter and more affordable rally experience.
The route will cover more than 200 kilometres of closed-road competition across 24 iconic Targa stages, including Cethana, The Sideling, Elephant Pass and Symmons Plains Raceway.
Entry fees have been significantly reduced, with Early Bird pricing available until 30 June. Competitors will also have the chance to win free entry into the 2027 Targa Tasmania, including one outright competition prize and two lucky draw entries for participating crews.
