Default Michigan Race of Champions

Not exactly rally but might be fun:


Birmingham, Michigan

TIM Announces Unique New Race Series




Michigan Race of Champions is a unique new form of motorsport which is a combination of US style AutoCross WRC Super Special, Race of Champions and X-Games Rally. Conducted on a 100% paved course, cars start of at half a lap apart and pusrue each other over the course of a lap or two of the tight and twisty track. First car back to their start position wins. Often an event will consist of timed heats with the fastest 8 drivers going head to head in a knockout competition to determine the overall winner. More seat time per dollar than almost anything else you can do without a cage. Points are awarded throughout the season to determine the season champion.



SERIES WINNER RECEIVES A SET OF TEAM DYNAMICS WHEELS!

unique head to head knock-out format

two cars on track at a time, not door to door

challenging yet safe, sinuos all tarmac course

production based vehicles limited safety equipment requirements
