I have the same question as Nick Yak above. We have a cottage on Crystal Lake about 30 miles west of Traverse City and will arrange our vacation weeks to be able to visit the cars in Traverse City or Dearborn.

Because of the nature of the competition, the actual route is not disclosed. Only the rally master, John Classen, knows where the cars will pass. The way the course instructions work, even contestants do not fully know the route they will be taking before they are on it. The only place that we can know for sure that the cars will be at, is the parc ferme at the lunch and overnight stops.

Hello,
It is a great thing that the”Great Race” is coming to Michigan and the surrounding area.
I would like to know if there are any organized activities for the public to view the cars before (Traverse City) or after (Henrey Ford/Greenfield Museum) the race? I would like to be able to ask some questions and get some specific photos of the speedster group.
Thanks,
Nick Y
Send any reply to me.
Thanks.
