Middle Cog 1 | rallycolorado.org

Now in its fourth year as a national level rally, Rally Colorado is shaping up to become one of America's best and biggest rallies. The rally is based in the beautiful year-round resort community of Steamboat Springs, just a short drive west into the mountains from Denver. The landscape includes fast sections of road and open areas for great spectating. The high altitude, coupled with fast straights put the high horsepower Open class cars at a distinct advantage.

LOCATION | Steamboat Springs, CO

Known as "Ski Town", USA - Steamboat Springs Colorado encompasses 3000 skiable acres. This small mountain community is also home to the largest ski jumping complex in America, which is used for training by the Olympic ski jump team. There is plenty to do in the area, including hiking, fly fishing, swimming in the natural hot springs and now, rally racing.

CONDITIONS | Gravel, open areas, high altitude

The high altitude and subsequent lack of oxygen at this event saps the rally cars' power. Despite this drain, the event features many high speed sections on flowing roads. Expect variable weather and some dust if the weather is dry.
