The Route

The route is always meticulously planned to provide the best experience for competitors. Our Road Directors find the best roads they can and for 2026 we will be touring Victoria. Competitors will drive over 1000km and compete in around 70 – 80 Time Trials over 4 days.

The route also considers opportunities for communities and spectators to enjoy the spectacle of Classic Cars. If you enjoy Classic Cars then you won’t want to miss seeing the field of vehicles that take part in Targa Classica.

Keep an eye on this page as we update specific course times for each day so you can plan ahead and get the best viewing spot.

See you on the road in 2026!!
