What does TF mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The Targa Florio was a legendary endurance road race held on the island of Sicily, Italy, from 1906 to 1977. Known as one of the most challenging and prestigious races in motorsport history, it was named after its founder, Vincenzo Florio.

The Targa Florio was open to various types of cars, including sports cars, touring cars, and prototypes. Over the years, many iconic makes and models participated, such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lancia.

The length of the Targa Florio varied slightly over the years, but it typically ranged from 900 to 1,000 kilometers (560 to 620 miles). The race consisted of multiple laps around a circuit that included public roads and treacherous mountain passes.

Nino Vaccarella holds the record for the most victories at the Targa Florio, with five wins between 1959 and 1965. He drove for Ferrari in all of his victories.

The Targa Florio was discontinued in 1977 due to safety concerns and the increasing costs of organizing such a large-scale event. The races became increasingly dangerous, and the surrounding areas were becoming more populated, making it difficult to manage the logistics and ensure the safety of both drivers and spectators.

The original Targa Florio ended in 1977, but a modern version of the race has been organized since 1992 as a regularity event. Known as the Targa Florio Classica, it allows participants to drive historic cars on a portion of the original route, providing an opportunity to relive the legacy of the legendary race.
