Since 2020 the team has been competing in the tarmac rally events of Tarmac West (formerly Targa West).
What is a tarmac rally?
A Tarmac Rally is a unique form of motorsport where Tarmac Rally Cars compete on roads closed for competition. Cars start at 30 second intervals and race against the clock with the winner being the car that is fastest over all stages. Cars are grouped into classes and there are categories for full Competition, Targa 130, Targa 165 and even an Electric Vehicle category.
There is a wide variety of cars competing including Classics like Ford Escorts and Mustangs, Toranas and Commodores to more modern turbocharged Mitsubishi Evos, Subaru WRXs and Nissan GTRs and even a range of Electric Vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 Performance. And what event would be complete without an exotic or two. What about a Ferrari 488 Spider or Porsche GT3 RS?
Targa West
Green Theme has competed in the 130 class in 2020, the 165 class in 2021 and was poised to take on the Open Class in 2022 before tarmac rallying was placed on hold. The team didnt slow down though, as this gave us time to pursue other events, the Perth to Sydney Marathon. 2023 saw a return to racing with Tarmac SouthWest, the Rallysprint series and an abridged Tarmac West in September.
In 2024 were preparing to throw our hat in the ring once more, this time competing in the Open Class!
