Peter Major has won four of the last seven Quit Targa West events, finished second in another and fourth in the Classic category.
Arguably, Major is one of Quit Targa West’s most successful competitors.
This year, Major said he hopes to finish on the podium’s highest step and end his rallying career on a high.
“With a five week old baby and 19-month-old at home, the wife isn’t too happy that I’m out rallying – so I’m making this one my last Targa,” Major said.
“I grew up with a lot of circuit racing but I’ve really enjoyed the difference in rallying – someone sitting next to you, someone experiencing everything with you. In circuit racing you don’t have that. But I can’t do it all, so I’m going focus on one discipline from here on.
“Let’s put it this way, I’m not going out there to come second. Everyone always wants to finish on top. Having had so much success in the past, I’m hoping we can do that this year,” the 32-year-old said.
Major has a new co-driver this year, experienced navigator Ben Searcy.
