Targa Tasmania
Looking for some info/support.
Anyone there or attended ?
The organisers aren't beign very helpful on travel arrangements and need to get some honest comments about ferry from mainland Oz, reasonable accomodation for 4+2 support crew, other things we could/should do if over.
Not for this years event. We got offered an entry but can't get the car over - a red A110 :) So for next year, 2 cars :D
Help .... all the Tasmanians please

That's a full series tho ?
Whilst tempting neither of us or or navs coudl give up the time to do a full series.
Would love to tho' :)

Pretty sure its not a full series. Last i heard, each event was something like $AUD2K entry for driver and navigator, and the rest is up to you (equipment etc)

Prices are quoted at around $199 Au for two people, a cabin and a car one way across to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. trip takes anywhere from 8 - 12 hours.
i've not heard anything about Targa this year.

Yeah I'd been at the link syko gave and amazed at the low cost.
Comaprison for the Isle of Man TT -- the ferry is 30years old, cramped, smelly, UNstabilised for only 4 hours on up to 5m seas each WAY and costs $500 return. No cabin, no booked seat, no food :( rip-off :(
-
I must be missing something, but what threat is TT under for this year? The only thing coming to mind for why they may not run it is a kneejerk reaction from PB's death.

See, No one wants to go to Tasmania, not even tasmanians. they need to make it as attractive as possible before you go to the Cannibal island :p

We were allocated entries for the A110 for THIS years event, but couldn't organise the car/papers/transport/family-permission :)
