Targa Maps

Postby astrae » Mon Oct 01, 2007 6:10 pm

Has anyone got a link to maps for the targa rally starting at labour weekend?

The targa website doesn't seem to have anything.

cheers

Classic car magazine always has the full map selection in it, usually comes out a week before Targa.

Targa have actually switched camps this year, the event programme/driver profiles/maps will be in Driver magazine, out shortly.
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976

Bloody hell, that's surprising. They've been Classic Car right from the start, and they're one of the reasons I stopped reading classic car as about 1/4 of the magazine looked like nothing but targa promotion.


I must have missed something somewhere.

Rotorua was the last event for Classic Car. There are a couple of new stages on the way down to New Plymouth and then four around Taranaki on Wednesday, with a pitstop and lunch out at Whangamomona. Thursday from NP finishes in Feilding but still takes in a couple of stages south of Taihape as well as the usual Pemberton, Kimbolton and Manfeild, going anti-clockwise this time. Friday is over Saddle Road and on up to Dannevirke, Waipukarau to Hastings, and Saturday is the biggest day of 170km finishing in Havelock North. I've put my supplementary regs somewhere safe - this is what I can remember from reading them last night...
See ya

They switched because of how late the event programme was being published, sometimes only a day or 2 before the event itself.

The edition of Driver with the programmes should be out in the next week, it was due to be finalised to go to the printers at the end of Sept.

I'm am too - co-driving for Fred Landon from Hamilton for the second time. This year in a 96 M3 #703 metalic blue under all the stickers. Last time in 2005 was a yellow AE86.
