With everything from a Citroen C2, a Fiesta R5 and an Audi Quattro, the Scottish Rally Championship will undoubtedly be grabbing the attentions of visitors both on and off the track.
“The Ignition Festival of Motoring is set to be one of the biggest events of its kind in Scotland and as one of the most popular stage rally championships in the UK, it is only right that we have a decent presence at the show,” said Championship Coordinator Robert Beck.
“You only have to look at the names of the rally legends to see that it will certainly be drawing in the crowds and it’s a great opportunity for our contenders to show off their cars to the public. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to bring our sponsors to Glasgow too. We look forward to seeing everyone at the SRC stand.”
