Looking for some good driving in November then look no further than the Targa Florio Australian Tribute. The iconic Targa Florio has been a much-loved tradition and motor event in Sicily since 1906. Today the Targa Florio is considered the world’s most historic, traditional and unique event for classic car enthusiasts. And because passion has no bounds, that experience can now be enjoyed Down Under!
The four day sister competition replicates this unique and traditional event and brings the style, culture and spectacle to Australia with a uniquely local flavour…La Dolce Vita!
Victoria’s great driving roads provide the pathway to adventure, where competitors can unleash their passion, take in the sights of our main regional tourist destinations, enjoy good food and wine unique to each of the regions and feel part of an event that is built on 100 years of European driving history.
There is something for everyone to enjoy, with three categories open for drivers to compete in Competition Stages which follow a European format that allows an enjoyment of cars with precision rather than speed. The skills of drivers and navigators are tested as they drive to set average speeds and meet exact times over set stages. Challenging, addictive and fun. To find out more and to enter go to
I will see you there, in either my 1975 Citroën DS if it is ready in time, or in a borrowed ride, a 1973 Porsche 911S!
And do not forget that the Bernina Gran Turismo kicks off next weekend. Unfortunately I cannot be there this year, but will be in attendance with bells on in 2020.

If that is not enough racing excitement for one blog post, this weekend I am at the Lake Perkollili Red Dust Revival in outback West Australia. I will bring you an update and images soon from what is going to be a very hot time in the desert!
