We ran a Targa Event at the old Lambton Lion Park on 28th January 2024.

It must be 40 years since we hosted an event here and it was certainly our first Targa event at this venue.
Check out the results below:

A couple of emails from competitors:
Hi Gordon
As said yesterday best maps we have had on a targa rally so far. Brilliantly run no hold ups and great tests. Please pass on our thanks to everyone who helped put the event on.
Thanks again for a great event
Simon
Thanks Gordon,
To echo what I said to you last night, what a great event.
Very enjoyable for both sides of the car.
The best Rally I’ve done this year.

Thank you for the email. We (car 23) had a fantastic day. The effort you had put into organising the event was evident from the start. Clear, concise instructions, the ‘road book’ and diagrams were excellent quality, and the tests themselves were well laid out and great fun to drive. Very slippery in places. We were chuffed to be well up in the time sheets at lunch time, but made a mistake or two in the afternoon to end up tenth. The timing lights on the minute were very good too.
A big thanks to all the marshals and stewards who were all very pleasant and helpful, even at end of day having been on duty for the whole event. THANK YOU!
Berwick is our home club and we shall indeed tell everyone about the Lambton event and the great job by Whickham.
We are hoping to be able to do the Shaw and would certainly love to return to Lambton for more of the same.
Thanks again.
Best wishes
Wattie & Roy.
Good evening,
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the organising team, the sponsor's and the army of marshals you had.
We had a great day carrying out some testing on different tyre choice
Excellent venue, hope you can use it again. When you have all had a rest and recovered would it be possible for a copy of the results.
Regards
David Garstang
Gordon,
Your team provided a flying start into the New Year. A well organised event with excellent tests and lots of really slippery surfaces. Many thanks to all the team,
Mike & David Garstang, Car 14.
