1804.0. "Targa Florio " by DOOZER::JENKINS (Suitably refreshed) Mon Jun 22 1992 11:28

    
    Anyone have any information on the Targa Florio? It's not the real
    race anymore but I understand there is an "unofficial version over
    the original course".
    
    I'd be grateful for any info on dates/competitors/being a spectator

    Thanks,
    Richard.

	The Targa Florio... Now there's a real race for you! I can't provide the info you need, but I can at least share your nostalgic interest in an epreuve which, by today's standards, was complete madness. The very fact that the race still figured in the World Sports Car Championship as late as 1974 - was that the last time? - is nigh on miraculous. Ed.
