David Bogie (born 31 July 1987) is a Scottish rally driver from Dumfries. He currently holds the titles of Scottish Rally Champion and British Rally Champion. He is the first person to hold both titles simultaneously.
His first rally was in 2004 at the wheel of a Vauxhall Nova on a round of the SRC. In 2007 he had his first stage win, driving a Toyota Corolla WRC. That year he came third in the SRC, a feat he repeated in 2008.
2009 saw him mount a full season in the British Rally Championship where, despite two podium finishes, reliability problems with his Mitsubishi EVO X meant he had a disappointing season. Bogie and long term co-driver, Kevin Rae from Hawick[1], took the SRC crown in 2009, at age 22, becoming the youngest winner of the SRC since Colin McRae in 1988.
During the 2010 SRC season he drove his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 (with a one-off outing in a Ford Focus WRC) where he took maximum points in six of the eight rounds of the championship.[2]
August 2011 saw Bogie clinch the Scottish Rally Championship for the third successive year with 2 rounds remaining. Winning four of the six rounds so far, again in his Mitsubishi (with a one-off outing in his fathers Metro 6R4), he was uncatchable on points by this stage in the competition.[3]
On 24th September 2011 David Bogie finished 3rd in the Yorkshire rally. This result ensured he had enough points to be crowned British Rally Champion for the first time.[4] He is the first Scot to win both the Scottish and British Rally Championship's in the same year.
