Event Cancelled

Posted: March 28, 2020 9:04 AM

Taking into consideration our options, and having reviewed the current situation, the organisers have taken the difficult and sad decision to cancel the 2020 Coast 2 Coast Rally, due to run on 25th July.

For the foreseeable future, progress in the planning of such an event is not possible, and with the essential emergency and volunteer services advising us of their concern regarding the event’s needs, the decision to cancel has proven inevitable.

The team have all had a very steep learning curve, however we have all benefited from the hard work put in thus far, and on a positive note, once this Coronavirus issue has been defeated, we can commence organisation of the 2021 Coast 2 Coast Rally, which we hope to run on Saturday 24th July 2021.

Stay Safe, and Thank You,

Roy Campbell
Rally Manager
Coast 2 Coast Rally

Preliminary Details

Posted: February 19, 2020 1:05 PM

After months of careful planning and consultation, details have been unveiled for a new closed road rally in South West Scotland this summer.

Organised by Machars Car Club, the Coast 2 Coast Rally is scheduled to take place on Saturday 25th July.

The event will be based in Stranraer, and comprise around 52 stage miles on closed minor roads near the town.

Rally Manager Roy Campbell said while a lot of work had been going on behind the scenes, they had not been in a position to announce the new event until they received a permit from Motorsport UK last week. As part of the process, an application has also been made to Dumfries and Galloway Council for a Motor Race Order (MRO).

"We've been working closely with local landowners, residents and community councils - as well as the Stranraer Development Trust", said Mr Campbell: "We'd been studying the dates of existing events, and July looked to be a relatively quiet month. The Trust were also open to a July date for a unique and exciting venture that will bring visitors to the area as part of wider regeneration efforts for the town".

More details of the Coast 2 Coast Rally will be announced in the coming weeks.
