Not to be confused with Targa Florio, a race founded in 1906.
The Targa Florio Rally is a rallyauto racing competition held in Sicily. It officially started in 1978 when the Targa Florio transitioned from sports car to rally event, mostly due to safety concerns. The 71 km pattern of Circuito delle Madonie is still used in the same permutation as the original race, and as such the Targa Florio Rally is considered its official continuation. From 1984 to 2011 the Targa Florio was part of the European Rally Championship calendar of events.
