With a new year, it’s time to make changes to improve our lives (and to do better in Targa next time). Here are our New Year’s resolutions for 2026.
- Lose weight – so the car gets more acceleration and handles better on all those Targa turns and so we can fit into our racing suits.
- Reduce stress – 9 out of 10 doctors recommend doing the things you love (such as driving a rally) to increase joy in life and lower your stress. The other doctor is busy sorting his car for Targa.
- Travel more – to dozens of charming small outports across a scenic island with friendly people, natural beauty, and fun roads.
- Keep in touch with family and friends – especially the Targa family as we’re all kindred spirits and maybe slightly crazy and in need of attention.
- Spend wisely – by applying now to make sure you get to run Targa 2026. And buy some good tires and shocks.
- Be kinder – to clutches, brakes, and suspensions. No more clutch-eating burnouts to impress people watching the start of a stage while trying to get away from that Porsche on your bumper. (Maybe that’s just my resolution – Editor)
