2 Welcome This second-running of the RACMSA Rally of Scotland has all the signs of becoming one of the UK s most successful and celebrated sports events of 2010 certainly one of the very best on the Intercontinental Rally Challenge calendar and in motor sport globally. We re building on 2009 s inaugural and quite terrific event and, having liaised closely with crews, officials and the public, it s very much a case of evolution rather than revolution. A similar 200km of competitive miles through some of rallying s most evocative and challenging stages awaits the crews which showcases Scotland s magnificent landscape before a worldwide audience. After leaving Perth Airport s main service, Scone Palace once again marks the Ceremonial Start to this year s event it s a stunning backdrop (where kings and queens were once crowned) and will provide a great taster for what s in store over the weekend as the cars tackle the opening two stages in its grounds in the dark of Friday night. Saturday sees two runs through Craigvinean (opposite Birnam Wood of MacBeth fame) and also the legendary Drummond Hill and Errochty each was used just the once in 2009 with half-way and end-of-day servicing at Perth. The Clashmore and Loch Ard stage raved about by drivers in 2009 complete the route on Sunday. Having survived them once, crews will have a final and very likely frantic 15-minute service at Aberfoyle to make any necessary repairs before heading out to tackle them a second time. Then comes the welcome sight of the finishing ramp at Stirling Castle another iconic and historic Scottish landmark. Adding to Sunday s spectacle, with two runs through Clashmore and one through Loch Ard, will be national teams invited from across the UK to contest their own one-day rally alongside the IRC competitors. It s a great opportunity for our national crews to share the spotlight of an international event and we very much look forward to their participation. Both runs through Errochty (Saturday) and Loch Ard (Sunday) will receive live, worldwide TV coverage on Eurosport thereby providing the event with mass audience appeal. In fact, a third of the event s special stages can be enjoyed live by viewers in their own homes. Obviously we re hopeful that a shift to an October date (from November in 2009) will bring improved weather - while the fact this will be the IRC s penultimate round means there s every chance that the IRC title will be hanging in the balance when arriving in Scotland. That can only add to the excitement and atmosphere for the many thousands of spectators at least 90 per cent of whom said they would return in 2010 having truly enjoyed their experience in Scotland. There s also a real desire by all concerned to attract sizeable numbers of new followers to the event. So it s on behalf of the Organising Team that I d like to thank Event Scotland, the Forestry Commission, the cities of Perth and Stirling and new partner in 2010, Gleneagles, for their support, dedication, generosity and vision which enables this rally to take place. Likewise the many Scottish Motor Clubs, individuals and volunteer officials who work tirelessly to put on the best event possible for participants and public alike. Scotland and Scottish motor sport has an enviable and hugely charismatic event in this rally. Those three days from October are going to be very special. Alan J Gow Chairman of the Motor Sports Association 2

3 Welcome On behalf of EventScotland I would like to welcome you to the 2010 Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association Rally of Scotland; the eleventh round of the prestigious Intercontinental Rally Challenge. This is the second year that Scotland has hosted this sensational event which utilises the stunning backdrops of Perth and Kinross and Stirling; the perfect stage for motor sport. Last year s Rally, the inaugural RACMSA Rally of Scotland, was a huge success for Scotland, generating more than 1.2.million in economic impact for Scotland and more than 2 million of media coverage showcasing the region. This included nearly 30 hours of global television, including 7 hours of Live Eurosport action with a cumulative audience of 4.1 million. Coverage like this is invaluable to raising the profile of Scotland around the world as a destination for major events and also as a country with welcoming people, incredible natural landscapes and fantastic outdoor sporting terrain. Scotland has a strong heritage in motor sport having produced World Champions in all categories of the sport including rallying. Scotland is also the fifth top nation for producing Formula One Champions and the country is fiercely proud of its achievements behind the wheel. That has never been more evident than from the passion of our Scottish drivers and the enthusiasm of the crowds who turn out to watch. Last year, Scotland received huge praise from drivers and motor sport fans for providing one of the most challenging and exhilarating stages of the competition. The route took in some of Scotland s most historic landmarks, beautiful scenery and we anticipate that this year s route will be just as exciting. Finally, the RACMSA Rally of Scotland has been secured for Scotland through our partnership with Perth & Kinross and Stirling Councils, and of course the event organisers, International Motor Sports Ltd and I d like to thank them for their ongoing enthusiasm. Paul Bush Chief Operating Officer at EventScotland, the national events agency 3

PR Activities The 2010 Royal Automobile Club Motor Sport Association Rally of Scotland once again will feature the UK s round of the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC). With its fast gravel Special Stages and spectacular scenery, last year s inaugural RACMSA Rally of Scotland proved to be an instant hit with competing IRC crews and rally fans. The 2010 event will build on that success and confirm the status of the Rally of Scotland as one of the UK s premier motor sport attractions. Significant changes for 2010 include a full weekend of competitive action, reduced admission costs for the public plus the promise of an even more star-studded entry as well as better weather conditions. While the event sticks to its established three-day format, the 2010 action now starts on Friday rather than Thursday evening and thus features competitive action on both Saturday and Sunday. Running a month earlier, the event should also avoid the atrocious weather experienced in Excitingly, the change of date promotes the Rally of Scotland to the penultimate round of the 2010 IRC a move that s certain to attract a large entry. As in 2009 the competitive timed sections will be staged on closed Forestry Commission Scotland gravel roads in Stirling and Perth and Kinross an area that benefited from more than 1.2 million in economic impact* as a direct result of the 2009 event according to independent research. With the world-renowned Gleneagles Hotel backing the 2010 event as a supporting sponsor, the 2010 route will feature an easy-to-access central Service Park located at Perth Airport and as in 2009 will commence with a Ceremonial Start and two runnings of a spectator-friendly Special Stage at historic Scone Palace, home of the Earls of Mansfield and widely regarded as once the crowning place of Scottish kings and queens. The high-speed competitive action will then switch to the 13

14 more traditional Forestry Commission tracks for some of rallying s most revered stages through Perthshire & Stirling before returning to Stirling Castle for the Ceremonial Finish. The 2010 RACMSA Rally of Scotland will offer fans even better value for money than the inaugural event staged last October. Ticket prices have not only been reduced but also provide increased flexibility with spectators allowed to attend as many special stages as they want during a given day for a single admittance fee. What s more all accompanied children aged 15 and under will be admitted free in *The 2009 RACMSA Rally of Scotland, the final stage of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, which took place in Perth and Kinross and Stirling, delivered more than 1.2 million in economic impact and more than 2 million in media coverage for Scotland according to official reports. The report on media coverage was commissioned by EventScotland from industry experts REPUCOM while the economic impact report was undertaken by economic and social development consultants EKOS. 17.

Expected Media Coverage Following last year s ground-breaking coverage of the RACMSA Rally of Scotland, the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) promoter Eurosport Events, is once again providing four hours of live and innovative television coverage during the penultimate round of the 2010 series.
