More classic cars to race around region in debute tribute to Italian Targa

An iconic Italian motor rally will extend to the Geelong region as part of the event’s Australian “tribute”, organisers have announced.
Geelong’s Waterfront would host the Targa Florio Australian Tribute’s official race start on 30 November, the organisers said.
The field of classic sports cars would then travel to the Bellarine Peninsula and on to the Great Ocean Road the following day as part of the “incredible four-day touring race”.
Some of the participating cars were “extremely rare”, the organisers said, with values into the vicinity of $3 million.
The organisers said the event would be the first Targa Florio Australian Tribute.
The race would coincide with the 101st anniversary of its Italian namesake.
The event will help deliver a second week of major motoring events in the region, with the Geelong’s waterfront hosting an annual Geelong Revival this weekend.
