Escuderia Targa Iberia

What Escuderia Targa Iberia does

Escudería Targa Iberia is a Spanish motorsport event organizer founded in 2011 and headquartered in Barcelona, with a secondary office in Madrid. The company specializes in producing historic and modern motorsport festivals that combine live racing with family entertainment, positioning events as "live museums" where iconic vehicles operate without spectator barriers. Its portfolio includes five recurring flagship events — Espíritu de Montjuïc, Festival de la Velocidad de Barcelona, Jerez Historic Festival, Espíritu del Jarama, and Festa al Cel — plus bespoke client events such as the Maserati International Rally. The company operates at recognized racing circuits (Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto, Circuito del Jarama) and routinely draws 25,000+ visitors and 200+ competing vehicles at major editions.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) ticket sales to general public spectators (with free admission for children under 8), (2) professional event production and advisory services for OEMs and racing series, and (3) sponsorship and hosting fees from international championships including Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe, GT4 European Series, GT1 Sports Club, Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europa, and McLaren Trophy Europe. Its core technology is event production expertise and partnership network depth — no proprietary software platform is disclosed. Specific ticket pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company is privately held, founder-led by Jesús Pozo ("Máximo responsable"), and operates with a lean team of 6 employees. It reports no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Its competitive position rests on 10+ years of brand-building in Spanish historic motorsport, exclusive relationships with premier international racing series and historic vehicle associations (HGPCA, Masters Historic Racing, Formula Junior Historic Racing), and a niche market position as the leading organizer of historic motorsport "festival" experiences in Iberia.
