Targa West

Tarmac West, formerly Targa West, is a rally event held in and around Perth, Western Australia. The event takes its name from the Targa Florio, a former motoring event held on the island of Sicily, as well as more recent Australian events including Targa Tasmania and Targa New Zealand.
The inaugural event was held in 2005 and won by Ross Dunkerton. Dunkerton also won the 2006 event which ran for four days from 7 September 2006 in a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX.

2006

After the official start at Forrest Place in the Perth central [business district], special stages were held in John Forrest National Park, Gidgegannup, Araluen, Muchea, Chittering, Bindoon and Toodyay.
76 teams entered in one of two classes: Challenge and Competition.
The 2006 event was marred by the death of Peter Brock who lost control of his Daytona Sportscar and crashed into a tree in the second stage of the event near Gidgegannup north-east of Perth at 11.50am on 8 September 2006. Co-driver Mick Hone was taken to Royal Perth Hospital and made a recovery.
