Targa Trophy 2009 completed its first ever Triple Crown Series this week to rave reviews. 60 drivers met in LA on Saturday, explored a route to the Santa Barbara Zoo, where they had lunch and made their way back to the Roosevelt Hotel, where they enjoyed an award ceremony and after party. Of course, there were a couple of casualties - we lost a Ferrari f430, which also happened in the San Diego leg of the event as a black version of the same car burst into flames. There were also the usual tickets and lost drivers, but everyone was amped up on adrenaline and in good spirits when we gathered to celebrate for a lavish after party at Hollywood’s quintessential landmark hotel.
