About
Competitors in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge have negotiated a wide variety of terrain this season. From the ice-coated passes in the mountains above Monte Carlo to the rock-strewn gravel roads of Argentina, the battle for glory has been demanding and intense in equal measure. The next gruelling stop is the RACMSA Rally of Scotland. With more than 10 pace-setting Super 2000 cars in action, the chances of this being another truly epic encounter are very strong, along what are truly high-speed gravel forest roads. The inaugral race last year was hailed as 'the best in the world' by leading competitors. The stages run through closed forest roads in the counties of Perth, Kinross and Stirlingshire. Blind crests, climbs and descents, sharp drops, tight junctions, off-camber corners and tree-lined straights all feature on the competitive route, which covers almost 200km, over 12 stages and is likely to be subjected to changeable weather conditions all mean that drivers have to be on the very top of their game in order to succeed.

This year's Rally of Scotland marks the sixth time that the Colin McRae IRC Flat Out Trophy will be presented. The award is handed to the most spectacular driver who best embodies the spirit of the Scottish hero and rallying legend on rounds of the IRC. Its recipient is chosen by a panel consisting of IRC personell and Jim McRae, Colin’s father.
