Welcome to the Magnum Opus Rally….
We are very excited to bring back such an historic event after many years. The original Magnum Opus was run in Marquette, then moved to Munising, now to Newberry Michigan for its Saturday, April 21st, 2012 debut. Magnum Opus for 2012 will encompass approximately 60 Stage miles. Route book only, no recce, Both day and night stages. Nothing fancy. Just a good old school, single day rally in da U.P. eh.
The website has been updated with a forum and encourage everyone to bookmark it as we are releasing details almost daily, Including lodging and event details. Please click the FORUM link and register !
The community of Newberry hopes you will join us in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula for this historic rally and is looking forward to providing you with some fantastic stages and good times for you and your team !
** A little unknown fact is that one of the most historic stages is a stage from the infamous 1974 POR WRC rally! This is the same stage as Munari in the Lancia Stratos and Marku Alen ran in the Fiat 124. All of the other stages will be ALL NEW roads never rallied on before !!!! **
There will be a dinner and awards banquet directly following the end of the rally. Details are on the forum.
We are very excited to bring this historic event to the rally community and look forward to providing the competitors , workers and spectators with a fun, fast exciting event.
Thank you !
The Magnum Opus Rally Staff !

// Venue
Magnum Opus roads are fast and flowing county roads around the Newberry, MI area. Road conditions are mostly packed sand and gravel with some sections of hard packed clay, mixed in, which will make some stages slippy if wet.
Competitors should expect quick times, as the stage roads are normally wide with minor elevation changes to keep drivers on their toes and grip in their tires. Road direction changes are telegraphed by clearly defined tree lines and no “gotchas” to surprise the competitor.
The Comfort Inn of Newberry will be the offical HQ for Magnum Opus.
There is a discounted room rate for rally guests and competitors use code : ” Magnum Opus ” When calling the hotel
