RSAC Scottish Rally 13th - 15th June 2003

The Peugeot TOTAL British Rally Championship team have tested heavily recently in preparation for the Scottish Rally June 13-15th. The Scottish Rally is a demanding event that witnesses fast flowing stages. When dry, the hard surface makes for very dusty conditions, making visibility hard and full concentration imperative.

The 2003 Scottish Rally will take place in Dumfries, south west Scotland. This will be the event's seventh year based at the Ice Bowl in Dumfries, using 106 miles of forest stages in the south and west of Scotland.

Seeded as number one for the rally Peugeot Super 1600 206 works driver, Garry Jennings commented; I am feeling much happier about the set-up changes we have made during testing to the car. The Scottish Rally is quite tough. Its a good rally and the stages are a bit like Ireland. While not as fast as Kielder Forest its a greater driving challenge.

Fellow Irishman and 206 Super 1600 works co-driver, Gordon Noble will be swapping places with registered journalists at the Scottish Rally shakedown on Thursday 12th June from 9-11am. Journalists wanting a passenger ride / interview with Garry Jennings must pre-register with claire.barton@peugeotsportuk.com as places will be limited to a first come first served basis. No journalist should expect to arrive on the day and be granted a ride in order to keep passenger rides safe and organised.

The rally offers several opportunities for spectators to see the cars and consists of several separate events, all offering different types of vehicles and scoring in different championships. The main two day event is part of the British Rally Championship.
