It's currently being impounded by the police and we'll work with them over the coming days to sort through all of those, that data and try and get an understanding of what's happened," he said. At the end of our conversation, I wished him luck and said 'stay safe'," one said. Some of them just don't like to be sitting at low RPMs," she said. "I spoke to Tony the night before at a public event. "You can't get on and off this island very easily when you're as big as us. "We'll make the most of whatever decision will be made in the future and we hope Targa will be around for many years." Mr Brown said the future of Targa was up to the organisers but he would not like to see the event disappear. "It's very remote and very different to the accidents last year, no spectators or no external vision like we had access to last year," he said. "They totally understand at the moment when we've got not enough data to make a clear call on what happened yesterday, that in the interim, at the very least, we needed to cancel, and a lot of them have gone out on the tour," he said. "And I would say if it was unrelated to the car, or the safety, or his training, or any of that stuff, then that will change the conversation dramatically." "But there was a huge amount of camaraderie from the event competitors and the officials." Some drivers were not pleased that the competition element of Targa had been cancelled and that anyone "touring" would have to keep to signposted speed limits.
