Three-time winners of the Grand Touring division of Targa Newfoundland, Team Hume Media, return to the Rock this fall for another run just for fun in Targa Tour.

Team owner John Hume, a longtime supporter and sponsor of the rally, first competed in Targa 16 years ago. He’s run it 11 times since and placed on the podium seven times in two divisions. He and co-drivers Craig MacMullen and Christina Kroner won the Grand Touring Division three times, in 2012, 2014 and 2017. In 2023, he shared his 2013 MINI GP with pro racer Randy Pobst and co-driver MacMullen, where they won again in Targa 1.

“I’ve been running Targa since 2009 in Grand Touring and Targa 1,” said Hume. “This island is so beautiful, I ended up building a house in Brigus on the ocean.”

This fall, Hume and his granddaughter, Katelyn, are running in Targa Tour. They’ll be driving in the 2021 MINI GP, which is #2072 of 3,000 built in 2020.
