The global coronavirus pandemic has disrupted sporting events across the country and around the world, and rally is no exception. With two rallies cancelled this year, and another postponed, the California Rally Series (CRS) has decided to group events during the 2020 and 2021 calendar years into a combined Super-Season. Points earned at the remaining rally events on the 2020 calendar – Rally Colorado August 15-16, and the Gorman Ridge Rally October 24 – will count towards the combined season along with 2021 events. The calendar of 2021 events will be announced at the end of this year.

The CRS Rallycross Championship will similarly combine events in 2020 and 2021 into a Super Season. Points from the two events that have already occurred – one at Ridgerest and one at Prairie City – will be combined with any other CRS points events that run in 2020 and 2021. To accommodate the change, the Board of Governors has raised the maximum number of championship eligible rallycross events per venue from three to five.

As a show of appreciation towards our competitors during this difficult period, all current CRS members, as well as new members who join during 2020, will have their membership extended until the end of 2021.

The California Rally Series is the premier performance rally championship in the southwestern United States. The Series incorporates events from various sanctioning bodies in order to create a meaningful regional championship for its members. The California Rally Series represents over 40 continuous years of performance rally, making it the longest running rally series in the United States.
