Targa West Tarmac Rally 2016

Targa West Tarmac Rally started out from Perth, Western Australia last week as the city welcomed crews competing in this popular event…

Thursday morning saw all the competitor cars going on display at Forrest Chase in the city before departing around lunch time for the first stage that was being held at Barbagallo Raceway. Once at Barbagallo, the entry road to the venue was used as a part of the rally stage, teams then fired out onto the track to tackle a reverse lap of the circuit.

So for this event I travelled all over for 4 days chasing the rally, Forrest Chase, Barbagallo Raceway, Northbridge, Malaga night stage, Kalamunda, Zig Zag, Toodyay, Chittering, Malaga for the day stage before finishing up in the City this meant over 1,000km of driving for me just to capture the images shown below in the 4 days heading back to Perth at the end of each day. Stunning weather was enjoyed over the weekend although that included a little rain on the first day – Western Australia heat can be a bit warm for some…
