Targa West

Targa West was a rally event held in and around Perth, Western Australia between 2005 and 2021.

Dunkerton also won the 2006 event which ran for four days from 7 September 2006 in a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX.

After the official start at Forrest Place in central Perth, special stages were held in John Forrest National Park, Gidgegannup, Araluen, Muchea, Chittering, Bindoon and Toodyay.

76 teams entered in one of two classes: Challenge (cars without roll cages) and Competition.

The 2006 event was marred by the death of champion driver Peter Brock who lost control of the car and smashed into a tree in the second stage of the event near Gidgegannup 40 km (25 mi) north-east of Perth[1][2] at 11.50am[3] on 8 September 2006.
