Make Smoking History Targa West hits Perth and surrounds from 16-19 September 2021. It's set to rev up Perth for the 17th time with rally action across the city starting with a new ceremonial start venue at the Supreme Court Gardens . This motorsport event is unique in that, unlike traditional motorsport where you have to go to a race track to watch. Instead, competitors visit cities, towns and shires from Kalamunda to Perth to Toodyay to Chittering to Bullsbrook to Malaga.

You get to spectate for free and in fact, may not have to leave your own property. SEE HERE for maps of the stages. There are many vantage points for spectating.

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?

Kicking off from 10.30am to 12.15pm on Thursday 16th September, competitors will head to Whiteman Park, Wanneroo, and then to the special Midland Toyota Ellenbrook night stage.

Day 2 on Friday, competitors head for the Perth Hills with the competition running in and around Mundaring, Parkerville and Kalamunda. Head for the crowd favourite Kalamunda and Zig Zag stages, before the rally cars head to Northbridge for the annual Shannons Northbridge Show 'n' Shine from 6pm.
