WRC returns to the UK: Rally Scotland

From ANWCC:

Dear Clubs and Association Secretaries,
Yesterday, Hugh Chambers announced that Motorsport UK had secured an agreement with World Rally Championship Promoter GmbH to bring the FIA World Rally Championship back to the UK, with a new event titled Rally Scotland, beginning in 2027.

Following funding agreements with the Scottish Government, Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council, Rally Scotland is confirmed for an initial three-year run from 2027 to 2029.

The return of the championship is a landmark moment for UK motorsport. As a cornerstone of the World Rally Championship since 1973, Britain’s place on the calendar is restored—reconnecting the series with one of its most passionate and knowledgeable fanbases.

Based in Aberdeen, Rally HQ and the Service Park will be located at P&J Live. The event will blend world-class forest gravel stages with dynamic urban spectator sections, bringing the action closer to fans than ever before.

More than a sporting spectacle, Rally Scotland is designed as a platform for progress—demonstrating how motorsport can contribute to wider societal and environmental goals. This includes:

Advancing sustainable fuel and low-carbon technologies, with WRC cars already running on 100% fossil-free fuel

Inspiring communities through STEM and future mobility initiatives

Supporting volunteer development across the motorsport community

Expanding diversity and inclusion within the sport

Delivering tangible economic and tourism benefits to the region

Motorsport UK will work in close partnership with the WRC Promoter, government and local stakeholders, and the rally community to deliver an event of the highest standard.

Further updates will be shared as plans develop. Visit rallyscotland.org to sign up and follow @RallyScotland for the latest news.

Kind Regards
Tracey Smith
ANWCC General Secretary

Hi,

I’d like to invite you to join us at Fulbeck on 4th May for the Lincoln Green Stages. I have ordered the sunshine but I cannot guarantee the supplier will come through with the goods. As usual we will provide a full day of exciting competition having spent a lot of time, effort and money trying to improve the venue for everyone in the last year. Catering has been booked as well, we will have our usual marshals draw too.

Access will be via the main entrance as usual,

If you are able to help out this year please contact me on ChiefMarshal@lincolngreenstages.co.uk or elmsr52@gmail.com. Please pass on this information to any of your friends or club members who might wish to help us out.

As always, we rely on a large number of marshals and other volunteers to be safe and successful and we’re very grateful for your support and commitment.

Please remember you’ll need to renew your Motorsport UK Marshal Registration for 2025.  Newcomers to marshalling can complete their Registered Marshal Accreditation on the Motorsport UK website via this LINK.

Regards
Richard
