The Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship heads back North for round 5 of the 2025 season, the Voly Grampian Forest Rally. One and a half days of competition lie ahead, pitting the best the SRC can offer against the competitors in the British Rally Championship.
Topping the SRC seeding, Scottish Rally top scorers David Bogie & Kirsty Riddick look to make it two maximum scores on the bounce in their Skoda Fabia RS. The former British Champion will no doubt be comparing times with the BRC contenders.
Mark McCulloch & Michael Hendry pushed the Fabia crew all the way at round 4, continuing their cracking run of form in 2025. The Proton crew have taken a podium finish on this round in the past and will surely be in the mix.
Scott Beattie & Peredur Davies came so close to the SRC win at this event last season, narrowly beaten by the eventual Champions Euan Thorburn & Keir Beaton. Fresh from a podium at the Scottish, they have some unfinished business in Scott’s home forests.
Johnnie Mackay & Rachel Matheson are the top seeds amongst the more conventional 4wd cars, the Evo pilot looking for a good performance in his home forests.
They’re chased by their good friends and rivals Duncan Campbell & Michael Cruickshank. The Impreza crew off to a great start in their new car this season.
Paddy Munro & Andrew Stevenson top the G&M Mechanical Services 2wd seeding, fresh from an amazing win at round 4. They spent the entire day battling with
Speyside 2wd winner Gordon Morrison returns to the SRC in his Mk2, accompanied on this occasion by Charlotte McDowall. Hopefully Montana can quickly readjust to the woods after months on the tarmac.
Always a factor in the 2wd battles, Steve Bannister & Callum Atkinson head up both the SRC Historics and the Haddo Energy Super Seniors competitors. 4th 2wd at the Scottish and a 2nd Seniors win of the year showing they’re still as quick as ever.
