Otago · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 1 of the New Zealand championship and its 51st running, out of Dunedin. Exactly the Rally Queensland weekend, so the two season openers cannot both be run.

Option for 2027, not an entry. The NZRC calendar is confirmed and MotorSport New Zealand approved, so these dates are real — what is undecided is whether we contest the round, with one car and one crew to split across three countries.

Canterbury · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 2, a one-day rally out of Christchurch. On the 2026 dates it lands about four days before Southern Ohio — the tightest turnaround anywhere on the combined calendar.

Option for 2027, not an entry. The NZRC calendar is confirmed and MotorSport New Zealand approved, so these dates are real — what is undecided is whether we contest the round, with one car and one crew to split across three countries.

Southland · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 3, the Barry Robinson Memorial Rally Southland out of Invercargill. Falls on the Rally Colorado weekend, so one of the two has to give.

Option for 2027, not an entry. The NZRC calendar is confirmed and MotorSport New Zealand approved, so these dates are real — what is undecided is whether we contest the round, with one car and one crew to split across three countries.

Hawke's Bay · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 4, out of Napier, and a second successive year in the Hawke's Bay. Clashes with Ojibwe, and it is the one NZ round the championship itself lists as not yet certain to run.

Option for 2027, and the one NZ round whose own running is not settled: the championship lists 28 August but says Rally Hawke's Bay is pending the organisers' commitment after they evaluate the 2026 event. It also falls on the Ojibwe weekend.

Bay of Plenty · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 5, out of Whakatane. On the 2026 dates it sits six days before LSPR — runnable, but it means going straight from New Zealand to Michigan.

Option for 2027, not an entry. The NZRC calendar is confirmed and MotorSport New Zealand approved, so these dates are real — what is undecided is whether we contest the round, with one car and one crew to split across three countries.

Northland · New Zealand · Gravel · NZRC

Round 6 and the championship finale — Whangarei moves later in 2027 to close the season, two days on the Northland gravel the event is known for. Two weeks clear of Adelaide Hills.

Option for 2027, not an entry. The NZRC calendar is confirmed and MotorSport New Zealand approved, so these dates are real — what is undecided is whether we contest the round, with one car and one crew to split across three countries.

Michigan · United States · Gravel · ARA

The ARA season opener, on plowed snow and ice out of Atlanta, Michigan — 108 competitive miles and nothing else on the calendar like it.

Option, not on the campaign plan. An ARA national the plan currently drops, listed here because a New Zealand season makes the full eight-round championship worth re-costing. The 2027 ARA calendar is unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.

Missouri · United States · Gravel · ARA

Round 1 of the US campaign, and the first ARA start for the car and the crew. Ozark forest gravel out of Salem, Missouri.

Placeholder. The 2027 ARA calendar is not published — ARA released its 2026 one in October 2025, so expect 2027 around October. Month is from the 2026 running; the day is not set.

Washington · United States · Gravel · ARA

Olympic Peninsula gravel out of Shelton — 200+ competitive miles, the longest stages in the series, some of them over 20 miles. Only works if the car is already on the west coast.

Option, not on the campaign plan. An ARA national the plan currently drops, listed here because a New Zealand season makes the full eight-round championship worth re-costing. The 2027 ARA calendar is unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.

Ohio · United States · Gravel · ARA

Round 2 of the US campaign, on Appalachian forest gravel out of Chillicothe, Ohio.

Placeholder. The 2027 ARA calendar is not published — ARA released its 2026 one in October 2025, so expect 2027 around October. Month is from the 2026 running; the day is not set.

Tennessee · United States · Gravel · ARA

Round 5 of the US campaign, out of Newport, Tennessee, with 160 miles of public-road transit.

Placeholder. The 2027 ARA calendar is not published — ARA released its 2026 one in October 2025, so expect 2027 around October. Month is from the 2026 running; the day is not set.

Michigan · United States · Gravel · ARA

Round 6 and the US season finale, in the Upper Peninsula forests out of Marquette, Michigan.

Kentucky · United States · Gravel · NASA

A NASA Rally Sport gravel round in the Daniel Boone forest country, about 440 miles from the Chicago base.

Candidate round — not on the campaign plan yet. NASA Rally Sport, which unlike ARA requires US-issued insurance, so it only opens up if the campaign lands a US admitted policy. 2027 dates unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.

Washington · United States · Gravel · ARA West

An ARA West Super Regional out of Goldendale, Washington, slated to return to National status for 2027 — which would make nine nationals and change the shape of the campaign.

Candidate round — not on the campaign plan yet. An ARA West Region event, so a long tow from the Chicago base. Slated to return to National status for 2027, which is not yet confirmed. 2027 dates unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.

Minnesota · United States · Gravel · ARA Central

An ARA Central round at Detroit Lakes, the same town as Ojibwe, sitting in the long gap between the March and June nationals.

Michigan · United States · Gravel · NASA

NASA's Michigan CUP series in the Upper Peninsula, a week after Southern Ohio and a short tow from base.

Candidate round — not on the campaign plan yet. NASA Rally Sport, which unlike ARA requires US-issued insurance, so it only opens up if the campaign lands a US admitted policy. 2027 dates unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.

Kentucky · United States · Gravel · ARA East

An ARA East Super Regional out of McKee, Kentucky, a week after Rally Colorado but a long tow back east.

Michigan · United States · Gravel · NASA

NASA's Michigan CUP finale, six days before Ojibwe and the shortest tow of anything on the calendar.

Candidate round — not on the campaign plan yet. NASA Rally Sport, which unlike ARA requires US-issued insurance, so it only opens up if the campaign lands a US admitted policy. 2027 dates unpublished; the month is from the 2026 running.
