Rally, road trip, grand touring: turn your route into a 3D relief
Take the Coupe des Alpes, organized annually by Rallystory: three days and some 650 kilometers of mountain passes starting from Évian — Megève, Serre-Chevalier, then the switch to Italy and the arrival in Courmayeur, at the foot of Mont Blanc, for the 2026 edition; other years, the road continues to Cannes. Cars from 1946 to 1992 pampered all year for those few days, months of mechanical preparation, a meticulously studied roadbook, a crew that experiences every hairpin together — and upon returning, what remains? Photos of the car in village parking lots, a rally plate, and the feeling of having accomplished something great.
That something great is the road. And the road, precisely, we know how to turn it into an object.
On a rally, the landscape is the main character
A trail is told in elevation gain, a grand touring rally is told in chained passes. What makes the legend of a Coupe des Alpes or a road trip in the Dolomites is not the time — there isn't any — it's the geography: the switchbacks seen from below, the picnic set at the Col de la Madeleine, the border crossed at altitude and Mont Blanc growing larger in the windshield.
Yet, this is precisely what no photo shows. A photographed turn looks like all turns. But place the complete itinerary on the real terrain, in three dimensions, and everything comes back at once: that pass after this one, that valley crossed in the morning, the real scale of what the crew has conquered.
The principle: your route, on the real topography
An Epic Trace is the 3D topographical relief of your route: the real terrain of the region crossed, embossed, with your itinerary laid over it in color, from start to finish. The piece is handcrafted in France and mounted on a solid oak base, engraved with two lines of your choice — the more durable equivalent of the plate fixed on the grille:
- “Coupe des Alpes 2026” / “Évian – Courmayeur · 3 stages”;
- “Crew n° 47” / “Alpine A110 · 1972”;
- or simply the name of the driver and co-driver.
On the desk or in the garage, next to the trophies, it does what no photo frame does: it makes you want to tell the story of the road.
How to retrieve the track?
You followed the rally with GPS — phone, navigation device, watch: export the track in GPX format and upload it to the configurator. The 3D preview immediately shows you the piece, and you choose the framing: only the queen stage, or the entire route.
If the rally is run in several stages: combine them into a single file with our GPX merge tool, or keep up to three distinct tracks, each in its own color — one per day, for example.
If you only have the roadbook: reconstruct the itinerary pass by pass in a planner like Kurviger — designed for winding roads, its web planner is free and exports the track in GPX (our step-by-step guide). Or write us the name of the event, the year, the list of passes: we will reconstruct the itinerary for you.
For organizers and clubs
A rally that makes such a road come alive for its crews deserves an award ceremony of equal stature. The relief of the edition's route, engraved with the event's name, serves as a trophy for the podium as well as a souvenir gift for each crew — and from one edition to the next, the route changes, the collection grows. We support event organizers and clubs for series, from prototype to award ceremony.
And for gifting?
If the gentleman driver is him — or her — and you don't have the track, the Epic Trace gift card lets the crew create their own piece. Re-doing the road pass by pass in the configurator, roadbook in hand: for this type of person, the pleasure begins with the creation.
