The Trinitē Road Rally

Sweeping ocean views, rugged cliffs, and the iconic curves of Highway 1. 335 km between Golden Gate and the cliffside Pacific Star Winery, with 5 TSD challenges along the way.

Less than 30 minutes off the line, teams were already deep in their roadbooks for the first timing section, followed immediately by the first Observation Challenge. A few longer transit sections mid-day offered a moment to reset, but not for long. The pressure returned for the final TSD sections before all 38 teams arrived at the cliffside winery.

Day 1 covered 1,073 turns: 541 right, 532 left, 58 doglegs, 289 gentle, 150 tight, 19 hairpins.

Backroads to Comptche, then a midday reset at the Boonville Hotel. Teams had up to an hour to take a small break, pick up the next roadbook, and run their calculations. The second half of the day opened into an exceptional, technical driving route that dropped teams into Guerneville and the finish at the River Electric.

Day 2 covered 303 km and 1,086 turns: 544 right, 542 left, 50 doglegs, 410 medium, 147 tight, 35 hairpins. Five TSD challenges between sunrise and the campfire.

After a full day on some of Northern California’s most technical and rewarding roads, teams rolled into the River Electric for a well-earned evening of dinner, glamping, prizes, and stories around the table.
