St. John’s Vice?

It may look like Miami but this was taken in downtown St. John’s, NL. No sign of Don Johnson. Paul Abbott, past winner of Targa Newfoundland, snapped this shot of his 1989 Porsche 911 Targa on Duckworth Street. That car took Paul and Randy Pobst to a win in Targa 1 in 2024. This year they provided daily commentary through the Dejero livestream and YouTube videos.

Memories of Targa Newfoundland 2002…

The first Targa Newfoundland attracted teams from far and wide. They became part of something special that has continued to this day.

Alan Ryall and his wife Carolyn from Ontario were among those pioneers who competed in the first Targa Newfoundland in 2002. They won the Grand Touring title in the inaugural rally in a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. Alan shared the attached bit of Targa history.

“At the closing black tie dinner, many of us got autographs from our fellow competitors. I haven’t checked closely; however, it looks like Carolyn got most of them. It’s nice to remember the acknowledgments from the non-rally people that we advised!”

Alan and Carolyn competed together in Targa again and she also volunteered with the event. Sadly, Carolyn passed away earlier this year. She and Alan will forever be part of the Targa family.

Targa and the Sprongls - two legends.

Frank and Dan Sprongl are legends in Canadian motorsports and they have a long history with Targa Newfoundland.

The two principals of Four Star Motorsports both achieved the rare Grand Master status in the Canadian Association of Rally Sport for drivers and co-drivers respectively. They were inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2023 for their massive legacy in Canadian and North American rallying (including six Canadian Rally Championship titles).

Frank Sprongl and Rod Hendricksen were back-to-back winners in Targa’s Open division in 2008 and 2009 a 1983 Audi Quattro A2.

The Sprongls’ company in Georgetown, Ontario builds rally-winning cars. Four Star has earned six Canadian Rally Championships and four North American Rally Cup championships since 1991.

This year, five cars built and prepped by Four Star Motorsports competed in Targa Newfoundland including the three-time Targa 2 winning MINI of Spud Performance (it was originally built for Targa co-founder Doug Mepham).

During the 2026 event, Frank Sprongl flew in to fit a new clutch for the STI of SSS Rallysport, ensuring their car ran perfectly through the finish.

Sprongl built and prepped cars:

MINI Cooper S JCW - Targa 2 winner of Keir Pollard and Jeremy Boehner

Toyota GR Corolla - Targa 1 runner-up of Brett and John Hueston

Subaru WRX STI - Third place in Targa 2 with Garry Bimler and Pali Sudle

VW Golf R - Targa 2 - Lydia Thompson and Jake O’Gorman

Acura Integra - Targa 2 - Josh Collins and Steven Brewer

And a flashback from 2008 and 2009, the Targa winning Audi A2

Targa competitors take on La Carrera Panamericana.

Veteran co-driver Pat Lévesque, who raced in Targa last year, is teamed up with driver Pierre Mychaltchouk in a classic 1978 Porsche 911 in Historica B class. Pat co-drove with Rico Bouchard in Stream Racing’s vintage BMW 1600 in Targa 2 in 2025.

Fresh from Targa Newfoundland 2026, Mauricio Sampayo and Jennifer Spence are taking on the long-running La Carrera Panamericana again. They’re in a 1979 Porsche 911 SC in the Sport Tour.

La Carrera runs Oct. 16-22 across Mexico covering about 3000 km.

Good luck to all of you!
