Where to Watch:
09:00 Hrs: Ceremonial Start – Cooper Park
The cars will head away from the start outside Elgin Cathedral and then head out to the forests to start the competitive action. This is a good chance to get up close to the cars, put please take care as you walk around as the cars head up to Grant Lodge.
Please use the big public car parks at Lossie Green, a two-minute walk from the Cooper Park, and even a limited amount of parking within Cooper Park itself. These are easily accessed and signposted from the main A96 through the town. Please park within the bays, and pay & display where applicable to avoid the wrath of the local traffic wardens!!
Please Note
All spectator car parks for the forest stages are arranged by the 63 Car Club (Elgin) for your convenience and safety. All these car parks are manned by local charities and community organisations who, by kind co-operation of the local Forest Enterprise offices, will keep 100% of the proceeds collected on the day. Please help these people make their day as enjoyable as possible by giving them your co-operation when using the car parks
The organisers, The 63 Car Club, accept no liability for car parking arrangements.
09:35 Hrs: SS1 – Heatcare Rosarie
The car park for this stage is on the forest road from Gateside farm, accessed off the A95 Keith-Dufftown road. Turn right off the A96 just before Keith and follow the A95 for approx. 3 miles before following signs and turning left onto unclassified road. Follow this road for approx 1 mile before entering the forest at Gateside Farm. Please note that there have been recent forestry operations in this section of track, so please drive with caution as there are some bumpy patches. There is no access to the Stage Start or Stage Finish as there is no parking available on the A95. Anyone parking on the verges of this road is at risk of being towed away by the Police who will be patrolling the area. Parking charge for this stage is £3 per car.
NO PARKING OR ACCESS IS AVAILABLE AT THE STAGE START OR FINISH.
10:50 Hrs & 13:10 Hrs: Huntly Auto Services – Service – Huntly Auction Mart / AM Philip
There is no spectator parking at the Service Area, but limited parking may be available in the Industrial Estate on the opposite side of the A96. As this is a very busy road at all times, and there will be even more traffic this weekend we do not recommend this however. If you do decide to go to the Service Area, please pay attention at all times as cars will be entering & exiting their Service bays throughout the day. There is no parking allowed on the verges of the A96 in the vicinity, and anyone attempting to park here will be towed away – you have been warned. Food (excellent and succulent home made steakie pies) is available in the Service Area.
Please obey the marshals on duty, and DO NOT try to access the Service Area off the A96 as there is no provision for parking here!
12:50 Hrs: SS5 – McDonald & Munro Gartly Moor
The car park for the stage is accessed, and will be arrowed from the public road off the A96 at the top of the crawler lane after the Glens of Foundland. After approx 2 miles turn right into the forest and follow the arrows to the car park adjacent to the stage. The car park will again be run by a local organisation who will take the proceeds, and parking is again £3 per car.
NO PARKING OR ACCESS IS AVAILABLE AT THE STAGE START OR FINISH.
