Targa Newfoundland announces sponsors for rally’s first-ever livestream
Targa Newfoundland has announced the full sponsor lineup powering the rally’s 25th anniversary livestream, the first in the event’s history, alongside a live showcase of the broadcast at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam. For the first time, North America’s only tarmac rally will stream live and free on YouTube, made possible by 10 presenting and technology sponsors led by official connectivity partner Dejero.
“This broadcast doesn’t happen without the partners who believed we could pull it off,” said Robert Giannou, owner and co-founder of Targa Newfoundland. “Two thousand kilometres of tarmac rally on some of the most remote roads across rural Newfoundland are about to be seen live in real time by the entire world, for the first time in 25 years.”
