Experience

Built like a modern motorsport event weekend

Think curated paddock energy, not a chaotic free-for-all. From check-in to checkered flag, every touchpoint is designed to feel premium, organized, and photography-ready.

Logistics

Exotic & Supercar friendly from end to end

Routes are pre-scouted for clearance, surface quality, and safe fuel spacing — with alternates in case of weather or road work. You get printed route cards and digital navigation links for each day.

Atmosphere

Grid presence, boutique scale

Limited to ~20 cars to keep things tight-knit and manageable. Think Porsche, McLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and similar hardware — with a mix of seasoned rally regulars and first-time entrants.

Lifestyle

Hotels, dining & off-track moments

Modern, 4-star centrally located hotels; group dinners; and optional add-ons like detailers at key stops — so the cars look as sharp as the roads feel.

Sponsors

Sponsors & rally partners

Coast to Peaks is supported by a curated group of brands that share our obsession with driving, design, and driver experience. From detailing and tuning to hospitality and media, sponsors are integrated into the rally in a thoughtful, non-intrusive way.

Grid & Entry

Who this rally is for

The Coast to Peaks grid is invite-only and focused on drivers who respect the roads, the locals, and each other — and who want a properly organized, high-quality rally experience rather than a free-for-all street race.

Vehicle Requirements

  • Supercars, exotics, high-performance GTs (e.g., GT3/RS, GT4RS, Huracán, 720S, R8, AMG, M2 Comps., Corvette z06, etc.)
  • Well-maintained, road-legal, and insured — with fresh fluids, pads, and tires.
  • Reasonable ride height or lift system strongly recommended.

Driver Expectations

  • Defensive, respectful driving on public roads; no racing, timing, or reckless behavior.
  • Ability to follow group guidelines, run at spirited group pacing, and attend daily briefings.
  • Comfortable with full driving days (6-7 hours broken into curated stages).
