Scottish Rally Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scottish Rally Championship is a series of rallies run throughout Scotland over the course of a year. Points are awarded to the top placed drivers and the driver scoring the highest number of points is declared Champion. The championship has always been a breeding ground for many World Rally Championship drivers, including Colin & Alister McRae and Robbie Head. Highlight of the year is the RSAC (Royal Scottish Automobile Club) Scottish Rally which is held in June every year. This event draws competitors from throughout the world to enjoy the unique and challenging forestry roads available to competitors in Scotland.

Notable Championship winners have included former Mitsubishi Ralliart founder Andrew Cowan, who won the championship in 1976 in a Colt Lancer, and former World Rally Champion, Colin McRae performed a giant killing act when he took the series crown in 1988 in his humble Vauxhall Nova.
