2019 Scottish Rally Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Rally Championship is a rallying series run throughout Scotland over the course of a year, that comprises seven gravel surface events.[1]
The 2019 series began on the snow-covered forest tracks around Inverness on 9 February, with the season finale taking place around Dalbeattie on 14 September.
Following the Grampian Stages Rally in August, Euan Thorburn and regular co-driver Paul Beaton were declared champions in their Ford Focus WRC. They had won four of the five events thus far and were uncatchable in the points table.
For season 2019 there are to be seven events held predominantly on gravel surfaces.[2]
Snowman Rally On 7 February it was announced via the organisers Facebook account that the 2019 event would be cancelled. The reason given was attributed to the extremely unsafe conditions of the course, with all stages having a thick covering of Ice.[3]
