Talk about a soft opening that's as hard core Newfoundland as it gets!
While we patiently await our final public opening date (TBD: please check back here, subscribe below, and we'll let you know), we are unofficially soft opening for Targa Rally competitors and crew next week!
We’re excited and honored to host and participate in a meet-and-greet for 2025 Targa Newfoundland team guests on Tuesday, September 16th, and help celebrate the milestone 1000th stage of the legendary Canadian Road Rally.
Tuesday will take teams to Eastport Peninsula on Bonavista Bay. Known for its rugged shoreline and soft sandy beaches, the area will host morning stages in the historic fishing communities of Happy Adventure and Salvage.
A stop at our very own Salvaje Longhouse will include a celebration to mark the 1000th stage of Targa Newfoundland and a meet-and-greet. In the afternoon, teams will run stages in Salvage, Eastport, and Burnside.
About the 2025 Targa Rally
The 2025 Targa Newfoundland car rally runs September 13-18 covering close to 2000 km from eastern to central Newfoundland. North America’s ultimate tarmac rally will take 30 teams from across Canada, the United States, and parts of Europe through 30 communities and across spectacular scenery.
Owned and operated by Newfoundland International Motorsports Limited, Targa Newfoundland is one of only three internationally recognized Targa motorsports events in the world. Since 2002, Targa Newfoundland, the ultimate tarmac rally in North America, has attracted hundreds of professional and amateur racers from around the globe to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Held each fall on the ruggedly beautiful island of Newfoundland in eastern Canada, the rally covers 2000 kilometres of challenging, twisty roads through amazing scenery across the island including about 500 kilometres of thrilling stages on closed sections of public roads. Now in its 23rd year, Targa Newfoundland will reach an incredible milestone – the 1000th stage – during this fall’s event.
