… RSAC Scottish Rally, 24 July 2021 …
Almost 140 cars and crews from all around the UK are entered for Saturday’s RSAC Scottish Rally and there is an awfy abundance of classes – see end of Entry List for details. In fact, it looks as though everyone who finishes will walk away with a pot of some sort!
That’s because Saturday’s event is a counter in both the KNC Groundworks Scottish Rally Championship and the MRF Tyres BTRDA® Rally Series and MRF Mixed Surface Rally Challenge.
Sadly, this is a NON SPECTATOR event! So would-be spectators are advised to stay at home and keep up to date with progress via associated websites and appropriate social media outlets. The weekly ‘Motorsport News’ will carry a full report next Wednesday and of course the online magazine at ‘jaggybunnet.co.uk’ will carry a comprehensive report on the SRC element shortly afterwards.
However, if any ramblers happen to be out in the woods they are respectfully requested to observe the signage and take advice from the Marshals to ensure that Forest & Land Scotland who manage the estates are comfortable with your behaviour. The future of the sport is reliant on compliance with those requests.
After his maximum points scoring performance on the Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally Freddie Milne will have a big tartan target on his back giving the likes of Jock Armstrong, Garry Pearson and Rory Young something to aim for while Elliot Payne scored top BTRDA points on the Nicky Grist Stages which means that Callum Black, Iain Bainbridge and George Lepley will have their sights set on him.
Then of course there is the ‘small’ matter of Messrs Bogie and Hunter. Both struck trouble in Argyll so both need to score top points this weekend.
Last time out Bogie scored his 6th win on the Scottish equalling Roger Clark’s record so temptation beckons. That would be quite a record to set on this 75th running of the event.
It’s just a damn shame that we won’t be able to be there to see it.
