2026 Motivation Rally Next Steps: Book Your Hotel Room!

2026 Motivation Rally Next Steps: Book Your Hotel Room!
Posted By: Will Moss on April 27, 2026


✅ We've Got Your Registration Info — Here's What's Next!

Atlanta → Tampa → Orlando → Miami → The Florida Keys | Aug 27–31, 2026

Congratulations and welcome to the 2026 Motivation Rally crew! 🏁

We're excited to have you join us for an unforgettable 5-day supercar adventure — packed with scenic coastal cruises, luxury hotels, fleet photo shoots, oceanfront rooftop dinners, world-class South Beach nightlife, and the legendary drive across the Seven Mile Bridge to Key West.

This is more than a road trip — it's a lifestyle experience.



Whether you're coming for the roads, the vibes, the ocean views, or the networking, you're now part of an elite group of drivers ready to Chase the Sun from the Atlanta skyline all the way to mile marker zero.


🔥 Your Next Step: Reserve Your Hotels ASAP to Lock In Your Spot

IMPORTANT: In order to be fully confirmed for the rally, you must book your hotel accommodations for each night of the trip.

We've partnered with a personal travel agent who handles everything for you — making sure you're at the same hotels as the group with secure parking for your car.

💼 Contact Tailored Luxe Travels:

📞 Call or Text: (614) 329-3452
📧 Email: tiana.samuels@fora.travel

Tiana will walk you through the options and get you booked into our group-preferred hotels:

  • Atlanta: InterContinental Buckhead
  • Tampa: Tampa Marriott Water Street
  • Miami: Fontainebleau Miami Beach or Nautilus Sonesta Miami Beach

All hotels are selected with exotic car owners in mind — secure valet/parking and easy access to each leg of the route.


🗓️ What to Expect

Take a look at the full rally page here. The day-by-day agenda is being finalized, but here's the high-level lineup:

  • 🌆 Atlanta kickoff — meet the crew, group dinner, prep for the drive south
  • 📸 Fleet photo shoots at marquee stops along the route
  • 🌊 Coastal cruising through Tampa, Orlando, and into Miami
  • 🌴 South Beach — VIP nightlife and rooftop dinners overlooking the ocean
  • 🌉 The Overseas Highway — 113 miles, 42 bridges, capped by the legendary Seven Mile Bridge across to Key West
  • 🏆 Send-off & rally awards on the final day

🧠 Final Reminders

  • Booking your hotels is your responsibility, and your room confirmations are required to be officially counted in the rally headcount.
  • You'll receive details on apps to download, group chats, recommended packing lists, and the finalized day-by-day agenda as we get closer to the event.
  • Plan for late-summer Florida weather — sunscreen, lightweight layers, and rain gear (afternoon storms are common in the Keys).
  • Travel insurance is optional but recommended.
  • Bring your energy, your cleanest ride, and your best attitude — because this rally is all about the vibes and the memories.

🏁 LET'S GO!

Welcome to the family. We'll see you on the road in August.

If you have any questions before then, don't hesitate to reach out!
