The Motorsport UK Scottish Rally Championship is a rallying series run throughout Scotland over the course of a year that comprises both gravel and tarmac surface rallies. [1] The 2025 series will commence on the forest tracks around Inverness on 1 March with the season finale due to take place in the Forests, around Castle Douglas on 13 September.
The title sponsor for 2025 is Asset Alliance Group for the second year as part of a three year deal.
Following the Galloway Hills Rally in September driver David Bogie was declared champion having won 4 out of the 5 events thus far. His win meant he was crowned Scottish Rally Champion for a record breaking seventh time.
For season 2025 there will be seven events held on both gravel and tarmac surfaces. [2]
In mid-December 2024 the organisers announced the cancellation of the series opener, the Snowman Rally which was originally scheduled for 1 March 2025. The reason given was the failure to secure enough suitable forest stage mileage from Forestry and Land Scotland. As a result the series reserve event, the Grizedale Stages Rally was added to the calendar. [3]
Jim Clark Reivers Rally On 24 May during the third round of the British Rally Championship, the Jim Clark Rally based in Duns, a tragic accident involving a competing car resulted in the death of the co-driver. As a result the event and the following days Reivers Rally were cancelled by organisers. [4]
