Targa Newfoundland

A television documentary on the 5th Anniversary Targa Newfoundland international road rally will air across Canada and the U.S. in March 2007.

The one-hour documentary, shot over the six days of competition in September 2006, follows the competition through St.John's and rural Newfoundland. Lots of racing action and lots of local colour/scenery.

The special will air on Sunday, March 4 at 3:30 pm EST on the SPEED Channel cable network.

Anyone familiar with Targa New Zealand, well this is basically the same type of event.
