2014 Rally America Season

Rally America officials have released the eight-round Rally America National Championship calendar for the 2014 season.

Rally America returns all of last year's seven rally events for 2014, and for the second consecutive year will extend the championship season with an additional Rally America National Invitational only event to be announced at a later date. The championship increased from six to seven rounds in 2013, and will become an eight-round championship in 2014. More information will be posted on www.rally-america.com in the coming weeks.

Once again America's premiere rally championship begins with the winter favorite Sno*Drift Rally on January 24-25th, 2014 in Atlanta, Mich. The Ojibwe Forests Rally and the Lake Superior Performance Rally will mark their second year as a national championship round after operating as regional events from 2010-2012.

"I am pleased to have all the 2013 events returning as part of the Rally America National Championship in 2014," said Bill Fogg Sr., Rally America CEO. "We're also excited to announce the first Rally America National Invitational to be the eighth round of this year's series."
