Targa Newfoundland is made up of four distinct divisions. There are three competitive divisions – Targa 1, Targa 2, and Grand Touring – and one non-competitive division, Targa Tour. Targa 1 and 2 divisions are further grouped by two-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles made before or after the year 2000.

Targa 1 is a competitive, timed event for cars with a roll bar. A base time is set for each stage with the goal to beat that time without any penalties. You are penalized for being slower than the base time for your class and road condition.

Targa 2 is a competitive, timed division for vehicles with full roll cages and has the highest speed limits of all divisions. As with Targa 1, the goal is to beat the base time for each stage without any penalties.

Grand Touring (GT) is a time, speed and distance (TSD) competition, also known as a navigational rally. The emphasis in the Grand Touring competition is on precision, not outright speed. The goal is to maintain an average speed throughout the stage and to arrive at the finish within an allowed time window.

Targa Tour is a non-timed, non-competitive motorsport adventure. It is a tour within Targa that is designed to allow the owners of sports, classic and exotic cars to drive them the way they were made to be driven without the stress of competition. Targa Tour covers the same stages as the competitive divisions but the runs are not timed and the speeds are set lower.
