McRae Stages Cancelled

Coltness Car Club Announcement

McRae Rally – Cancelled

It is with deep regret that Coltness Car Club has announced the cancellation of the 2015 Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally which was scheduled to run in Perthshire on the weekend of the 3rd/4th October.

We Won! We Won! Well, sort of.

A Scottish Association of Car Clubs team were first equal in the MSA Inter-Association Stage Rally Challenge, which was run as part of the Nicky Grist Stages.

GoMotorsport Live Knockhill 16th August

GoMotorsport and Scottish Motor Sports, will this summer be co-ordinating a motor sport open day
at Knockhill, during the mid-season Scottish Motor Racing Championship race day. The event will be a great opportunity for members of the public to get their first taste of club motor sport and find out how easy it is to get involved.

Scottish Association of Car Clubs Meeting held in Bridge of Allan 16th June 2015

The most recent meeting was again a mixture of routine, but none the less important, procedural stuff, including vital communication from the MSA, interspaced with a very active debate on a range of related topics.

In terms of proceedings, one of the key things that clubs should be making members aware of is the ongoing high workload at the MSA. The governing body for UK motorsport looks after our interests by getting involved in all sorts of stuff including important legislation from the UK and European Governments that we might otherwise never hear about until we trip over them. One of these is a move by the EU to legislate by 2017 for mandatory 3rd party insurance for every motorised vehicle regardless of where it is used.

Reivers at the Ready

This weekend’s Jim Clark Reivers Rally marks the halfway point in the 8 round ARR Craib National Scottish Rally Championship.

First run in 1970 this year’s event will return to its roots. Tree roots, that is. Having run as a ‘Closed Public Road’ rally since 1997, using stretches of public road closed by Act of Parliament within Berwickshire, this year’s event will revert to forestry road Special Stages just over the Border in Northumberland.
