High hopes for Grove junior Targett

By Thomas Miles

Date posted: April 9, 2024

Grove Racing Junior Team member Oscar Targett is bracing for a big 2024 as he takes on a full Porsche Sprint Challenge season for the first time.

After getting a taste for the one-make feeder category across seven races last year, Targett continues his progression with a full campaign locked in for 2024.

Last year the teenager in his first year away from karts collected four podiums on his way to an impressive third in the points standings after missing the first round.

Now with his sights set on a full campaign in 2024, Targett is aiming to continue his progression.

”I’m really looking forward to hitting the track this year with Grove Racing. I’m ready and excited for the season ahead,” he said. 

“Racing with Grove is always fun, and I can’t wait to see what this season has in store. 

“The unveiling of our new livery marks the start of something exciting for us. 

“After finishing third last year, I’m more focused than ever on winning races and pushing for the championship title.”

Targett’s Porsche has been equipped with a near identical livery to ones raced by the squad’s Supercars stars Matt Payne and Richie Stanaway.

Grove Racing CEO Brenton Grove expects Targett to be on the pace and fighting at the front.

“Oscar’s returning to a familiar championship in 2024, and we’re excited to see how he goes,” he said. 

“Last year was a good learning foundation for Oscar, however, in 2024, we’re excited to see the progress he has made. 

“With all Grove Racing programs, there’s an expectation to perform, and Oscar is more than capable of delivering.”

The Porsche Sprint Challenge season begins this weekend at Phillip Island.
