2024 Scottish Rally Championship
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 2024 series will commence on the forest tracks around Inverness on 2 March with the season finale due to take place in the Forests, around Castle Douglas on 14 September.
The title sponsor for 2024 is Asset Alliance Group who have committed to sponsoring the championship for three years.
Snowman Rally[edit]
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]
