Team Bakery Garage brings international flavour to Targa.

Team Bakery Garage is a cross-continental team driven by two cousins, Ralph Wiesbrock of Canada and Matthias Boemke of Germany.

After conquering the Alps and the Autobahn in 2019, the teammates have decided to reprise their adventure in the form an epic Targa Tour.

Ralph is a retiring architect who spends a chunk of his time off playing at Calabogie Motorsports Park and racing his temperamental Miata.

Matthias is a retired engineer with millions of kilometres under his belt unwinding his Miata on the German Autobahn.

Making the journey from Ottawa, Ontario, and Diez-an-der-Lahn, Germany, the duo hopes to encounter wild landscapes, exciting roads, good people, and good cheer. Instead of their Miatas, the pair will bring a 2017 BMW M2 for this motoring adventure.

What inspired the unusual team name, Bakery Garage? “I’m an architect and my wife is a baker,” says Ralph. It’s appropriate that the team sponsor is Sweet Sigrid Nordic Baking.
