The Engine Shop has once again come on board as the naming rights sponsor for 2023. Thanks to Neil and the team for their support of The Engine ShopTarga City Sprint.

The City Sprint is a speed event competition where up to 60 cars compete on the City of Perth Special Stage on Sunday morning before the Targa West cars arrive in the afternoon. Cars start at 30-second intervals and race against the clock, with the winner being the fastest car over the four runs of the City of Perth stage.

There is typically a wide variety of cars competing, including Classics like Ford Escorts and Mustangs, Toranas and Commodores to more modern turbocharged Mitsubishi Evos, Subaru WRXs and Nissan GTRs. And what event would be complete without an exotic or two? 

Spectating is FREE!!

Not only is there the action of The Engine Shop Targa City Sprint to watch, but the Schlam Celebration of Motorsport brings over 400 cars, trucks, bikes and boats from all motorsport disciplines to Langley Park. Also, alongside Riverside Drive, there is a display of up to 300 cars and bikes of interest in the Shannons Classics on the Park.

The City of Perth Family Zone has a variety of activities for kids of all ages to get hands-on with while the rest of the family enjoys the spectacle in and around Langley Park.
