Winner Mark Piatkowski / Aris Mantopoulos
About this rally
The season opener, and the only National rally on snow and ice. Studded tires are not allowed in Michigan, so crews hunt for grip on plowed forest roads with snowbanks for guard rails.
Result
| Pos | Crew | Car |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mark Piatkowski / Aris Mantopoulos | 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS |
| 2 | Sean Donnelly / Zach Pfeil | 2024 Renault Clio Rally3 |
| 3 | Alastair Scully / Stefan Trajkov | 2019 Hyundai i20 R5 |
Javier Castro was fastest on the road, but a five-minute penalty set on appeal left him fourth. Lia Block led into the final stage and stopped just short of the finish. Mark Piatkowski’s naturally aspirated 1999 Subaru inherited the win, which became final after appeals in March.
