We stage the grid in Wilmington, then head west toward the mountains with a planned lunch stop and a final ascent into downtown Asheville.
Coast to Peaks Rally
A curated, four-day exotic and supercar experience from the Atlantic coastline of Wilmington, NC to Blue Ridge summits — inspired by the high-energy spirit of luxury global rallies, but built for drivers who live for the perfect road.
Not a race. This is a grand-tour road event on public roads, focused on precision driving, scenery, and community — with 4-star hotels and dining, curated stops, and low clearance exotic and supercar-friendly logistics from coast to peaks and back.

Coastline rollout to mountain apex
Designed like a modern motorsport event weekend: structured daily stages, curated checkpoints, and photo-ready arrivals every night. Each leg is selected to balance technical driving, scenery, and time to enjoy the destination.
A driver-focused day on legendary Appalachian tarmac, with staggered run groups, photographers, and regroup points for story telling and socializing before heading into Knoxville for the night.
A high-altitude loop with big-view vistas and long, flowing corners — followed by a night of fun with both new and old friends to reset before the return to the coast.
A more relaxed final day with curated fuel and coffee stops, rolling back into Wilmington for closing photos, awards, and one last sunset by the water.
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.
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.
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.
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 & 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.
We partner with a limited number of headline and supporting sponsors each year to keep the grid feeling premium and uncluttered. Sponsors are featured across rally media, decals, social coverage, and key on-site touchpoints such as launch, arrival and evening events.
