Great American Mountain Rally Revival is Back!

The Great American Mountain Rally Revival will challenge 21st Century rallyists with the rallies of the 1950s. The original Great American Mountain Rallye ran from 1953 to 1957. This was the first American rally listed by the F.I.A.

In its day the Great American Mountain Rallye attracted top teams from around the world. The Rootes team entered Sheila van Damm in 1953 and 1954. Stirling Moss also competed in this rally in 1954. The great Maurice Gastonides, the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally winner, was a competitor as well. One year, multi-time world driving champion, Juan Manual Fangio was the official starter.

This fall a new rally, the Great American Mountain Rally Revival will once again challenge American car rally competitors. This 700-mile three-day rally will be based on a route used by the original rally, even using original course instructions where possible. All competitors will be provided with a copy of the two 1953 original Mobilgas Maps of Southern and Northern New England which were used by the competitors in addition to the written route instructions. Only roads that appear on these maps will be part of this rally.

Automotive rally teams from the northeastern U.S. and beyond will gather October 12–14, 2018, to challenge their cars and themselves in a 700-mile Revival of the Great American Mountain Rallye (GAMR), a European-style endurance event that was held annually from 1953-1957 in upstate N.Y. and New England.

The route of the Great American Mountain Rally Revival has been finalized. The rally is made of transits between self-start timed sections. While there are times required to complete the entire day, it is not necessary to be on time, all the time, therefore drivers can enjoy the mountain roads and the colorful autumn leaves that New England is famous for in the fall without the constant timing stress except for the timed sections.

If you want to take part in the Great American Mountain Rally Revival or have any questions then please call the Rallymaster: Gary Hamilton: 978-500-8039 or E-mail questions to: GAMRR2018@gmail.com (preferred as we may not always be in good cellphone reception).
