Also the eligibility of the cars is, or was when devised, based on more road going based criteria from a list of eligible cars. The cars are split into classes from outright contenders down. Purpose built stage rally cars dont fit the criteria. This is from the outright section of the entry info/criteria for competitors wishing to take part

Vehicles must have been commercially available in any number as a road registerable vehicle when manufactured or be a vehicle approved by TARGA Australia. Vehicles must be compliant for normal road registration and road usage including any modifications that have been made to the vehicle. A Safety Cage structure is not mandatory but is highly recommended.

Also the Targa Tasmania and associated events are for trophies only, no prize money.
I think originally back in 1992 it was more a Classic car event with the more sophisticated cars being introduced more recently.
