About this event
COLORADO GRAND PRIX
August 1-2, 2026
This August, Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing continues to honor the heritage of Road Racing in Colorado, with the Colorado Grand Prix. The Colorado Grand Prix was the pinnacle of SCCA pro racing in Colorado throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and into the early 1980s. Formerly hosted at the Continental Divide Raceways, the event was host to Formula 5000, Formula B, Can-Am, Trans-Am, and Formula Super Vees. While we may simply be borrowing the name, our racing spirit remains the same as the original. This year the spotlight is on Big Formula and Sports Racers, RMVRs newest run-group. These cars are some of the fastest of the weekend and always provide a spectacle! Unlike last year, the standard RMVR run groups will be in place.
