SCCA Targa:
The Ultimate Driving Challenge
What is SCCA Targa?
SCCA Targa is more than a competition—it’s a motorsports adventure that combines high-performance driving, road trip adventure, and teamwork into one unforgettable experience. Designed for teams of at least two licensed drivers (though you can fill every seat in your car with teammates), Targa rewards both on-track performance and off-track engagement.
This multi-day journey takes competitors to multiple tracks, where they’ll test their skills in a variety of driving challenges. Between track sessions, teams will hit the open road, exploring new locations, and embracing the event’s social and creative elements. Whether you're chasing fast laps, tackling unexpected challenges, or enjoying the camaraderie of fellow competitors, SCCA Targa delivers a motorsports experience like no other.
How It Works
SCCA Targa is more than just lap times—it’s a test of strategy, teamwork, and full event participation. Each event consists of five competition days at four different racetracks with a side of autocross and RoadRally tossed in for good measure. Here’s what to expect:
Days 1, 2 and 3
Time Attack Track Sessions
You'll be at a different racetrack each day where you'll get:
- Two practice sessions
- Two three-lap flying scored sessions (which can be split between co-drivers or completed by a single driver)
Social & Road Rally
At least one time as you traverse to the next racetrack, you'll have an opportunity to earn extra points with a fun, social RoadRally — think creative challenges and social media things.
Autocross
One of these days will also include the challenge of an autocross where each team will get an even number of runs, typically six, that can be split up however you'd like.
Days 4 + 5
The Time Attack Challenge
The Tire Rack Time Attack Challenge series is making stops across the country and, as a Targa participant, you get to end your journey competing at a final racetrack. The primary Targa registrant gets automatic entry while the second driver can choose to crew and kick their feet up, or register as a co-driver. This event gives you:
- One practice session
- Three timed sessions — the fastest lap counts toward team points
How Points Are Earned
Final standings are determined by total points accumulated across multiple aspects of the event:
- Lap Times – Scored on a percentage-based system, with the fastest car in class earning 100 points.
- Social Media Engagement – Earn points by participating and interacting with event-related content.
- Peer Judged Elements – Stand out with the best team theme, biggest underdog performance, and other standout efforts.
- Punctuality & Event Spirit – Stay engaged, arrive on time, and fully embrace the Targa experience.
*(Bringing coffee for the event lead might earn unofficial bonus points—maybe.)
Why Enter?
- Experience the thrill of track driving and autocross with a competitive twist.
- Compete as a team by splitting driving duties and strategizing together.
- Be part of a unique event that blends speed, creativity, and camaraderie.
SCCA Targa + Time Attack Challenge
Each SCCA Targa event ends at a Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge, with one automatic entry included. Co-drivers have the option to enter the full weekend event separately—either in their own car or as co-drivers in the same vehicle (maximum of two drivers per car for Time Attack).
*Important: The primary Targa registrant will automatically be entered into the Time Attack Challenge and should not sign up separately.
