Can I trailer my car?

Not between tracks. Cars must be driven from track to track. Teams are responsible for managing their own trailers, and some final-track facilities allow trailer staging or early drop-off. Details appear in each event’s Supplemental Regulations.

What does Targa need to continue in 2027?

We’re aiming for ~40 entries per event across the four routes. Early sign‑ups help us secure tracks, staff appropriately, and keep the program growing.

A

Which Targa should I do?

Each Targa route has its own personality, and the schedule will vary by year. Here are examples of some previous Targa events:

  • Tex-ish: Long distances, big tracks, and the least-known bucket-list venue in the country — Hedge Hollow.
  • Southland/Carolina: Roval start, NCCAR in both directions, and the first-ever Targa oval experience at North Wilkesboro.
  • New England: Epic drivers’ tracks (Palmer, LRP), plus the optional Mount Washington Auto Road.
  • Great Lakes: Ferry crossings, Tire Rack HQ shenanigans, and classic Midwest road courses.

If you’d like help choosing a route based on experience level, car type, or travel budget, just ask!

A

Do both drivers have to set times?

No. Teams can choose who drives each session. A single driver may complete all competitive laps.

A

How does scoring work?

Scoring is based on timed competition sessions at each track. Drivers/teams accumulate results across multiple days and venues.

A

What happens if weather interrupts the event?

Targa operates rain or shine. Severe weather adjustments follow standard SCCA safety protocols.

A

Are hotel blocks provided?

No, hotel blocks are not generally provided. However, once staff hotels are booked, local suggestions are shared with participants.

A

Are transits required?

Yes. Driving between tracks is part of the Targa experience. Distances vary by route but range from short hops to multi‑hour scenic drives.

A

Is Targa beginner friendly?

Absolutely. The TrackSprint and paced laps make learning accessible, and transits create natural downtime between sessions.

A

What does a typical track day (on-track format) look like?

Each track day includes:

  • 4 paced laps
  • A TrackSprint (when the facility allows)
  • Two practice sessions
  • Two competition sessions:
    • Session 1: Best single lap
    • Session 2: Three‑lap cumulative

Teams get six separate on‑track opportunities per day.

A

Do both drivers have to drive?

No. Teams may share driving however they like. A “team” can also be one driver and one non‑driving co‑driver (navigator, friend, kid, moral support human).
