The Management Committee are deeply disappointed to lose what was planned as our first round of the Scottish Rally Championship, the AM Phillip Trucktech Snowman Rally. We know the hard work the event organisers had already put into this year’s event.
For 2024, following the expiry of the previous two year agreement for events to use forestry land, Forestry and Land Scotland Management have changed the processes involved in the administration and repair of the roads used for multi-venue forest events. A new agreement is still in the process of being finalised. All parties involved are continuing their strenuous efforts to get new agreements confirmed and finalised. This work is fully supported by Motorsport UK and the Scottish Rally Championship.
As stated by the organising team of The AM Phillip Trucktech Snowman Rally, the setbacks on the original planned route, and the proposed changes to how they engage with landowners has left them no option but to cancel this year’s event.
We know they will come back stronger in the future and we will continue to support them in every way we can.
The Scottish Rally Championship can confirm that the 1st round will now be the McDonald & Munro Speyside Stages on the 19/20th April, and we will still have the proposed 7 rounds as per the previously issued calendar.
Championship Regulations will be available soon, and Registrations will open shortly for which we are confident will be another successful year.
