QUIT Targa West will roar into action on the last weekend in August (25-28) 2011 and organisers are happy to announce entries are now open.
The seventh running of QUIT Targa West will see the City of Perth, shires of Toodyay and Kalamunda and the City of Swan come alive.
In 2011 100 crews are expected to take part in the event, which has cemented its place as Western Australia’s premier tarmac rally and one of the top rallies on the Australian tarmac rally calendar.
QUIT Targa West Event Director Bob Schrader is excited about 2011 and is looking forward to continuing on from the success of the last six years.
“In 2010 crews and spectators saw a number of significant changes to the special stages run during the event, including the introduction of the Killarnee City of Perth Super Stage run on the beautiful Swan River foreshore and the stages run in Bullsbrook,” Schrader said.
“In 2011 I am pleased to confirm both these stages will once again form part of the event and I am looking forward to making some more announcements about new and exciting changes to the 2011 event shortly.”
One of the most attractive features of QUIT Targa West is that it provides an opportunity for anyone, not just professional motorsport drivers, to participate in a world-class event, along some of the best roads in international rallying.
Divided into four separate categories run under one banner, teams will compete in either the Competition or Challenge categories, which are further broken down into Modern (post-1982) and Classic (pre-1982) classes.
The tarmac rally is renowned for attracting a wide and varied field of vehicles, which compete along some of the most spectacular roads Western Australia, has to offer.
Schrader is thrilled about the quality of the course they will provide in August and is encouraging both existing and new crews to sign up early to avoid missing out on a place in the field, which is capped at 100 entries.
“QUIT Targa West is more than just a rally; it is an escape from the real world, a great way to combine passion with the social and competitive side of rallying and an avenue for teams and fans to indulge in their passion in this beautiful part of Australia,” said Schrader.
“The rally showcases Western Australia to not only the rest of the country but also the world and attracts participants to the state from interstate as well as providing a great spectacle for the public.
