Several versions of the track were used. It started with a length of 148 km (92 miles) for a lap, then was shortened twice to the 72 km (45 mi) lap that was used in the last decades, for usually 10 laps in the race.

The race cars were started one by one every two minutes for a time trial, as a start from a full grid was not possible on the tight and twisty roads. Helmut Marko set the lap record in 1972 in an Alfa Romeo T33 at 33 min 41 s or an average of 128. Dr Helmut Marko (born April 27, 1943 in Graz) is a former Racing driver from Austria.

Due to the long track, drivers practised in the week before the race in public traffic, often with their race cars fitted with license plates. Porsche factory drivers even had to watch onboard videos, a sickening experience for some.

Due to safety concerns, the last real Targa Florio as an international professional race was run in 1973. In that year, even a Porsche 911 won as the prototypes suffered crashes or other troubles. The Porsche 911 (pronounced as Nine Eleven, Neunelfer is a Sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany The Targa was continued as a national event for some years, before a fatal crash sealed its fate in 1977.
