'On average, 13 rock fishers drown each year, whereas there have been six fatalities in 30 years of Targa tarmac rallying. But take a guess which sport has been shut down due to safety concerns.'

“Due to these unprecedented challenges, Targa Australia has advised Motorsport Australia that they can no longer align their business with the governing body and will not seek a contract renewal on future events run by Targa Australia.”
Motorsport Australia’s decisions come after three competitors died in the 2021 rally and another died last year. Motorsport Australia is the governing and sanctioning body for four-wheeled motorsport in Australia. It is affiliated with the FIA. And, critically, it provides insurance for event organisers such as Targa, which up until now is part of the control Motorsport Australia has over organisers.
