Targa Adelaide adds new rookie rally element
This year, the Targa Adelaide Rally (21 to 25 August) will be introducing a new format for entrants called the Rookie Rally. This new tarmac rally category has already proven popular with 12 new entrants signing up so far.
The Rookie Rally is designed to remove the pressure of the full Targa Adelaide Rally competition but still sees entrants integrated within the main competition cars.
Rookie Rally competitors often undergo mentoring, tips and technical advice by seasoned competitors. Rookie Rally entrants participate in the Wednesday night, Intercontinental Targa Night Stage at the Showgrounds where they get the opportunity to race in front of 23,000 spectators. They then tackle over 160 competitive kilometres of Adelaide Hills Roads for two of the following four days of the Targa Adelaide Rally.
