A 59-year-old driver was killed in a crash at the Targa Tasmania rally on Wednesday, a year after three competitors died in the annual race.

The man from Brisbane and his wife were in a 1989 Porsche 944 S2 when it crashed over an embankment on a closed section of the event in the north of Tasmania state.

Three competitors died within 24 hours in last year's race. Organizers have adopted the bulk of the Motorsport Australia investigative tribunal's 23 recommendations to make the tarmac rallies safer, including reduced speeds and altering some stages on the course.
