Out of the 250 vehicles entered, there were 5 Fiats in the event this year. In the Early Classic cataegory there was a 600 Abarth, a 750 Abarth and my AC coupe. There was a CC Coupe in the Late Classic category and a Grande Punto Sport Abarth in the Modern Category. All except the 600 Abarth (not pictured) finished well up in their respective classes. The little 600 rolled on 2 occasions, but recovered to limp across the line on the last day.
Sorry no videos from me. Search for Targa Tasmania on You Tube and you should find plenty of in-car footage of the event.

No night stages - but plenty of low cloud (fog and mist) up in the mountains. It would be extremely dangerous to run the event in the dark, the attrition rate is bad enough in daylight with lots of expensive exotica spearing off the road into the scenery
There will be a 1-hour TV program with highlights of the event screened sometime in June in Australia, one of your cable networks may pick it up in the States.
