The Make Smoking History Targe South West Rallysprint is a unique Motorsport event that brings all the action to you. Unlike traditional motorsport, where you have to go to a race track to watch, competitors in the Targa South West come to Pemberton to compete on the roads in and around the town. The stunning natural scenery and challenging roads of the area make it the perfect location for this exciting event.
Welcome to Tarmac South West, We are excited to be coming back to Pemberton for thrilling rally action.
Friday
On Friday the drivers do a Shakedown of their cars to get them ready for the weekend. We do this from the Pemberton Sports Club, up Pump Hill Road and Stop at Stirling Road. They pay an extra fee to do this and 100% of the money collected will go to the Pemberton Mill Hall committee. Spectating is possible on the corner of Club Rd & Pump Hill Rd.
Saturday
The are a number of great spots to see the cars in action.
- Service Park – To get up close to the cars and speak to the crews they will be coming and going from the Pemberton Sports Club all morning.
- Golf Club – The first spectator point is on the golf club corner, Golf Links Rd and Mullineaux Rd. The cars go out and back to Big Brook Dam on two occasions.
- Pump Hill Rd – Same location as Friday, on the corner of Club Rd and Pump Hill Rd. They go up the hill twice and then rally down the hill twice.
