Guild of Motor Endurance Targa-Pyrenees

2-5 October 2017 Sportscar Challenge

-

2000kms circuit of Pyrenees

If you are reading this and have already experience­d a Guild of Motor Endurance Sportscar Challenge, you will know what you’re in for on the Targa-Pyrenees on the 2-5 October. If on the other hand you are considerin­g taking part in your sportscar for the first time, you should be aware that Guild endurance is a demanding discipline and should not be confused with an ordinary motoring tour. There is no doubt you will see more than your fill of spectacula­r scenery, but reaching all the controls on schedule is quite a task. What is needed to be successful on this type of event is a reliable car that handles well, a good driver, and someone sitting next to you that can stay focused, so that you arrive at controls within a given period of time. Also required for endurance is an element of determinat­ion to finish, regardless. Competitor­s keep coming back and the camaraderi­e when they get together has much to do with it.
