2nd Overall 2023 - Mitsubishin EVO 9
The rally will be run in the forestry and oil roads in the familiar Fallen Timber forestry area. The timing of the rally provides road conditions that will be tricky and unpredictable. Gravel, snow, and lots of ice are virtually guaranteed.

1st Overall 2023 - Mitsubishi EVO 10
Reconnaissance or 'Recce', gives teams a chance to see the roads on the day before the event and make their own description of the stage. The ability to mark hazards and make a knowledgeable tire choice makes the event faster and safer for all participants.
With the level of interest in Rallying continuing to grow, the Cochrane Winter Rally is expecting a large and competitive field at this year's event.
Eric Grochowski / Martin Headland
3rd Overall 2023 - Subaru WRX

Please see the Spectator Guide attached for
time and directions for the spectator areas.
Always follow the marshals directions.
NOTE: Due to the higher than usual snow cover, parking is limited and may not be available in the stages. Be prepared to walk in from the start line areas - always before the course car 00 enters the stage.
One of the best ways to get into rallying and learn how and what to do is to volunteer to help out at an event.
There are many positions available, most not requiring any special knowledge (we'll teach you anyway). From the registration table to timing controls and spectator control.
Volunteers are needed:
Some positions need specialist skills. People with qualifications as amateur radio operators, emergency medical technicians, and advanced first aid are critical for event safety and security.
We are also using the Sportity App for quick access to documents and bulletins.
