The American rallies have a very peculiar feature. Very little interaction outside their borders with a few trips and performances around the world that just left the feeling that this movement could have been more effective, apart from the unusual, which are the cars that participate (to this day) of the championships. Those typical models of the land, mixed with some of the most classic cars that wrote the history of fashion.

  Without being able to find any other information that can more effectively clarify the beginning of the rallies in the country, the oldest information available is that the Winter Central Florida rally, played in the year 1960 (5 June) and won by Malcolm Love-Spreck Hurd, behind the wheel of a Triumph TR-3 is the proof that started everything. Apparently.

  Evidence level, some very interesting and very intriguing. ‘Flerte’ with the WRC over the 1970s and the late 1980s. It is interesting to mention some of them: Press on Regardless, which integrated the calendar of the first WRC and was characterized by its unstable participation in the championship during the 1970s (the race was held with this denomination between 1969 and 1993). Olympus, organized since 1973 and included in the WRC in the second half of the 1980s and the Susquehannock Trail, in my opinion the most dynamic of the events organized in the country, organized since 1977.

  An information that serves as a ‘hook’ for another: the national championship was established in 1973 and this information serves as ‘entry’ (or ‘hook) for the mention of the great pilots of the land.

I highlight three names: The pioneers Scott Harvey (the first national champion and one of the first ‘internationalists’ in the world of rallies) and John Buffum, 10 times the national champion, the only American ever to win a race in Europe and, according to the Rallymemory archive, by 2023 the greatest rally winner of all time in the world (followed closely at that time by Jean Marie Cuoq, who is still in activity -2025, and certainly has already surpassed it). One aside: Although the American race does not show a level of competitiveness similar to that of Europe, it is worth noting that the victories of Cuoq, for the most part, were achieved in regional rallies, which does not degrade it, but greatly values Buffum's career, because, although there is a distinction between American and European schools, the degree of competitiveness of the American rally is higher than that of the French regional rallies. Indeed, and in my modest opinion, John Buffum, despite being one of the ‘Gods’ of the rallies, was the most wronged of the pilots because he was never given the opportunity to participate in the WRC integrated into a factory team. Only a few participations that, in practice, were unable to demonstrate the great value of the pilot. And finally and more recently, Paul Choiniere. Name of great local relevance and no representation outside the American continent. During his career (from 1985 to 2007, 6 times national champion) there were few trips abroad. To be exact, just participation in some Canadian evidence and nothing else.

The cars? Oldsmobile(s), Plymouth(s), Eagle(s) and other typically American ‘cars’ mixed with something from Europe and Japan.

  Os rallies norte americanos tem uma caracteristica muito peculiar. Muito pouca interação fora de suas fronteiras com algumas poucas deslocações e performances pelo mundo que apenas deixaram a sensação de que essa movimentação poderia ter sido mais efetiva, alem do inusitado, que são os carros que participam (até hoje) dos campeonatos. Aqueles modelões tipicos da terra, misturados com alguns dos mais clássicos carros que escreveram a história da modadlidade.

  Sem conseguir encontrar outras informações que possam esclarecer de forma mais efetiva o inicio dos rallies no país, a informação mais antiga disponível é a de que o rally Winter Central Florida, disputado no ano de 1960 (5 de junho) e vencido pela dupla Malcolm Love-Spreck Hurd, ao volante de um Triumph TR-3 é a prova que deu inicio a tudo. Aparentemente.

  A nivel de provas, algumas muito interessantes e muitas muito intrigantes. ‘Flerte’ com o WRC ao longo da década de 70 e final da década de 80 do século passado. Faz-se interessante mencionar algumas delas: Press on Regardless, que integrou o calendário do primeiro WRC e caracterizou-se por sua instavel participação no campeonato ao longo da década de 70 (a prova foi realizada com essa denominação entre os anos de 1969 e 1993). Olympus, organizado desde 1973 e incluído no WRC na segunda metade dos anos 80 e o Susquehannock Trail, em minha opinião a mais dinamica das provas organizadas no país, organizada desde 1977.

  Uma informação que serve como ‘gancho’ para outra: o campeonato nacional foi instituído em 1973 e essa informação serve como ‘entrada’ (ou ‘gancho) para a menção dos grandes pilotos da terra.

  Destaco três nomes: Os pioneiros Scott Harvey (o primeiro campeão nacional e um dos primeiros ‘internacionalistas’ do mundo dos rallies) e John Buffum, 10 vezes campeão nacional, único americano até hoje a vencer uma prova na Europa e, de acordo com o arquivo Rallymemory, até 2023 o maior vencedor de rallies de sempre entre todos de todo o mundo (seguido de perto, naquela época, por Jean Marie Cuoq, que ainda se encontra em atividade -2025, e certamente já o ultrapassou). Um aparte: Embora as provas americanas não apresentem um grau de competitividade semelhante ao europeu, vale ressaltar que as vitórias de Cuoq, em sua grande maioria, foram obtidas em rallies regionais, o que não o desmerece, mas valoriza muito a carreira de Buffum, pois, por mais que exista uma distinção entre as escolas americana e europeia, o grau de competitividade dos ralis americanos é superior aos dos rallies regionais franceses. Em verdade, e na minha modesta opinião, John Buffum, apesar de ser um dos ‘Deuses’ dos rallies, foi o mais injustiçado dos pilotos pois nunca lhe foi dada a oportunidade de participação no WRC integrado a uma equipe de fábrica. Apenas algumas poucas participações que, na pratica, não foram capazes de demonstrar o grande valor do piloto. E, por fim e mais recentemente, Paul Choiniere. Nome de grande relevancia local e nenhuma representatividade fora do continente norte americano. Durante a sua carreira (de 1985 a 2007, 6 vezes campeão nacional) foram poucas as deslocações ao exterior. Para ser mais exato, apenas participações em algumas provas canadenses e nada mais.

  Os carros? Oldsmobile(s), Plymouth (s), Eagle(s) e outros ‘carrões’ tipicamente americanos misturados a alguma coisa vinda da Europa e do Japão.
