Recently there were some articles on Dirtfish about a possible WRC Event in UK/Scotland.

Based on that, I tried to make a route with a service park in Aberdeen, Ceremonial Start in Edinburgh, SSS at the Knockhill Racing Circuit. It was important for me to put in some legacy from the classic RAC events in the past. For that I put together some park stages as well. The rally should be a forest gravel event – what else.

Day 1 around Perth (Knockhill Racing Circuit - Perth - overnight halt Perth, remote service Perh Airport like in the IRC days)
Day 2 northwest of Perth - road section to Aberdeen
Day 3 southwest of Aberdeen
Day 4 norhwest of Aberdeen

All stages, except one park stage and the Shakedown were used already in the past as a rally stage. The stages are from Events like: Speyside Stages, Grampian Forest Rally, Rally of Scotland (IRC days), Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally and Knockhill Stages Rally. I tried to connect some stages, made it a bit longer or shorter, sometimes with different start and finish areas as run on the events above.

In total the competitive route includes 21 special stages with 348,38km. The total rally route is 1406km. The distances are not that exactly but I did the route with mapfab and I think the distances are not that far away.

I would like to hear your opinion about that fantasy route and maybe some locals can say if these stages are still possible and are available for rallying?! In Kirriemuir, near the Bon Scott statue, I placed a refueling zone during the road section.

Here is the full itinerary and the rally map.

Great work, but you missed out THE best rally stage in Scotland - Drummond Hill! Possibly only second best to Grizedale West in the whole of the UK. I would suggest that instead of Griffin.

Starting with Knockhill and Scone gives it a proper mid-90s RSAC Scottish Rally feel to it!
