With the opportunity to equalise Australian racing legend, Jim Richards' and Barry Oliver's record of eight outright victories, the uncle and nephew duo are relying on their trusty Dodge Viper to replicate its previous consecutive victories of the past two years.

Short-priced favourites to join Richards and Oliver in the upper echelon of Tasmanian and Australian Motorsport in this year's instalment, the Whites have been undefeated in four straight Targa outings since last year's Tasmanian event.

Hyundai sibling duo Brendan Reeves and Rhianon Gelsomino have other plans however, as the maker's World Rally Championship development driver looks to make his stamp on Targa Tasmania in the critically-acclaimed i30 N.

After their tight 2018 tussle with the Whites, Matt Close and Cameron Reeves return to Tasmania with the heavy task of battling with the more powerful Dodge Viper on their mind as they prepare their Porsche GT3 RS.

Going into the final day of last year's event, Close sat just 27 seconds behind the historic duo before plunging into a fence during the opening Tinderbox stage and ending their hopes at repeating their 2016 victory.

With all focus of the White and Close dual continuing once again, the experience of drivers Steve Glenney and Tony Quinn are two that can never be counted out heading into the Targa Tasmania event.

As Glenney switches from Subaru WRX STI to a powerful Lotus Exige 350 in an attempt to reclaim the top spot that he conquered in 2008, he will be joined by co-driver Dennis Sims for a shot at the title.

New Zealander Quinn hasn't claimed the title since wins in 2009 and 2011 with Naomi Tillett and returns to Tasmania for yet another crack, joined by Brian Foster in their 2018 Nissan GTR 35.

Silverdome's TargaFest commences the festivities on Sunday, April 28^th from 6-9pm and gives the public an opportunity to enjoy an abundance of the 265 cars competing in Targa as well as a range of Motorsport history from around the globe.

The Country Club plays host to the start of the event the next day from 7:30am.
