Scottish Summer Hill Rally

The Summer Hill Rally, organised by the Scottish Hill Rally Club, will see competitors tackle stages across the Scottish Borders County on Saturday 17^th and Sunday 18^th June, including a special spectator stage within the BVAC Classic at Thirlestane Castle.

Hill Rallying is a cousin of traditional stage rallying and see’s competitors (driver and co-driver) tackle a variety of off-road stages against the clock; the main difference is that the terrain often tends to be more extreme than in normal stage rallying and as such, so are the competing vehicles! The cars are mostly derived from road going 4×4’s but with some fairly major modifications; expect to see stripped out Land Rover Defender’s with V8 engines giving out 500+ bhp amongst other weird and wonderful off-road monsters!

There will be a minimum of 58 stage miles and just 84 road miles over the weekend. The route is compact and all stages are contained within an area between Lauder, Stow and Galashiels. The terrain is superb hill rally ground and most of it has never been used before.
