Snowman Rally

On 4 January the organisers announced that the series opener, the Snowman Rally, usually held in early March, would not take place. The reason given was the expiry of the previous agreement to use forestry land. Discussions quickly took place between the organisers and Forestry and Land Scotland to resolve the issue and a rescheduled date was announced in October. [2]

2024 calendar

For season 2024 there will be seven events held on both gravel and tarmac surfaces. [3]
