| Brrrr! It wis awfy cauld last year! |
Winners of last year’s Grant Construction Stages Rally at Knockhill, John and Jim Rintoul head the entry for this year’s event which gets the Scottish rallying season underway this coming Sunday, the 8th of January.
Border Ecosse Car Club have got over 40 entries for the season-opener and it looks as though there will be some new cars getting an airing.
The first stage will start at 8.30 am and it should be all over by 4 pm with the cars being flagged off at 30 second intervals.
Hopefully, conditions this weekend will be better than the white-out which greeted crews last year, but having said that, it was a great spectacle and most of the crews enjoyed it.
The entry fee is £8 (£4 conc./U12 free) for spectators but only a fiver if you book in advance on the Knockhill website. However, when I tried it this morning there was an answering machine message which said the circuit was shut until Friday the 6th of January!
