The Great Race is an antique, vintage, and collector car competitive controlled-speed endurance road rally on public highways. It is a test of a driver/navigator team’s ability to follow precise course instructions and the car’s (and team’s) ability to endure a cross-country competition.

Meet the 2025 RPM X-Cup team!

We're thrilled to introduce you to our our team for this year's Race, taking place from June 21st through the 28th. 

The X-Cup Division of Great Race features High School and College age student Teams from across the Nation. Special financial support is available to qualified teams including $3500 Team Grants to help with necessary expenses (including fuel, food, etc.), Student Scholarships, and Educational Grants for Institutions represented by the Team winning the Team Choice Award. Entry Fees for qualified X-Cup Teams are also supported by generous donors.

Throughout the history of the Great Race, it has been a priority to encourage youth to participate, as a competitor or as part of the staff. Eventually, a special class was created for young automotive enthusiasts who wanted to pilot a vintage car in the Great Race. This division would become known as X- Cup. Team work and dedication are key factors in Great Race competition, making this a truly “Bucket List” experience these students will long remember!
