Formerly called the Maine Forest Rally, the New England Forest Rally is scheduled to take place over the course of 3 days (July 12-14th). Event organizers decided to change the name of the rally to New England Forest in order to more closely describe where the rally takes place.
Warm, dry weather is consistent with summertime in Maine. Spectators normally enjoy bright blue skies, which can make watching the rally cars fly by even more fun. However, drivers know that the dry weather can lead to dusty, rocky roads where visibility is limited and hitting a stray boulder by the side of the road can be a common and disastrous occurrence. And because the logging roads are actively used by logging trucks during the week they can be rutted up and difficult to maneuver through, testing all of the drivers’ skills.
