The Great Race is an annual, controlled-speed endurance rally for vintage vehicles, spanning approximately 2,500 miles across the United States. Over nine days, teams of drivers and navigators compete not for speed, but for precision and endurance, following detailed course instructions without the aid of GPS or modern navigation tools.
