Hope some people here got up to Turoa today. I'm gutted to have not been paying attention to the snow reports (have lost faith in NZ ski fields), looks to have been an amazing day up there.

Would certainly rather be skiing today.

TARGA NZ ANNOUNCES TWO-DAY REGIONAL
'EVENT-WITHIN-AN-EVENT'
Keen to see as many would-be competitors as possible experience this year's 21st annual Targa New Zealand tarmac motor rally, event organiser Peter Martin has added a two-day 'event-within-an-event' to the 2015 'main Targa.'
The two-day Targa NZ Regional Rally 2015 starts in Palmerston North on the second-to-last day of the main event and has been added to the 2015 schedule for two reasons.
"The first," says Martin, "is that people are busy, and many tell me that while they'd love to do our event, they simply do not have the time to do the full six-days.
"The second is that it gives people either new to motorsport, or new to Targa a chance to, if you like, 'dip-a-toe-in-the-water' to see if a Targa event is for them."
The two-day Regional Rally starts on Friday October 30 and takes in the final 14 stages (Leg 4 and Leg 5) of the six-day main Targa NZ event.
Scrutineering and documentation are in Palmerston North on Thursday October 29 and the route includes several of the event's key stages like the run through the Gentle Annie road from Taihape to Hawke's Bay on the first day and (after an overnight stop in Havelock North) the return to Palmerston North on the second (and final) day via old favourites like Te Aute and Weber and new ones like a stage over the Pahiatua Track.
This year's six-day event starts in Auckland on (Labour Day) Monday October 26 and finishes in Palmerston North on Saturday October 31.
In-between are 35 closed special stages comprising a total of 1067kms linked by 1431.7kms of touring stages with overnight stops in Hamilton, New Plymouth (two nights), Palmerston North and Havelock North with the event finishing back in Palmerston North (at the city's Square) on Saturday October 31.
Response from the event's many regulars has been immediate and enthusiastic with over 50 entries in the competitive section and 25 in the concurrent but non-competitive Targa Tour.
Information on both the main (six-day) 2015 Targa New Zealand and two-day Targa Regional Rally events is available on the event website www.targa.co.nz
Cost for doing the two day event appears to be $600 although is not clear from the main page until you go through to register?

Unfortunately Jamie, yet again its expensive.
$2300 including GST and medical levy for the 2 day part of the event as a Tourist and $6555 including GST and medial levy for the 6 day event....
Its got well out of hand. I can ship my car to Europe and enter a classic/vintage w day rally for $6555 (getting the car home would be another thing..).

I suspect there are plenty of wealthy car enthusiasts that will stump up for the Tour.
That said in their communication today they announced they had 50 signed up competitors and 25 for the Tour. Given the event is only 10 weeks away those numbers seemed fairly modest to me given this is the biggest event of the year for them...
