Scrutiny takes place on Friday 12th from 4.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. at Colm Dillon’s Garage.

The quality of the entry is outstanding with the top 20 featuring a number of crew keeping themselves ‘match fit’ for Rally Ireland. Many crews are hoping to seal Class wins in the Border Championship.

The event will consist of 8 stages in the 2X2 format. All stages are in the Burt/Burnfoot Area.
