Targa Rally
A cross between a Rally and an Autotest, a Targa consists of a course marked out by cones, with a set route and a navigator to direct. The aim is to follow the correct route, in the quickest time possible.
Targa Rallies are usually held during the daytime, on private land, with plenty of tight turns to keep speeds low. Some events may use multiple venues, navigating on public roads between locations.
As the navigator you’ll be handed stage diagrams when you arrive at the event. You’re allowed to annotate these but can’t create full notes. Your role is to guide the driver around the course the right way. You will receive time penalties for going the wrong way!
It’s always sensible to agree certain commands with your driver in advance so there is no confusion during the tests.
At single venue Targa Rallies, you may share your car, taking it in turns to act as driver or navigator. Teamwork is key!
