Morning all to nearly September,well done to Chloe Fleming on yesterdays Get Connected Mewla Rally in Wales finishing 23rd overall and winning class 9 alongside Kyle Green in the mighty Nissan Micra

Closer to home there seemed to be a fare bit of testing taking place over the weekend with a few club members getting some seat time in readiness for future events, saw Max McRae,Gordon Cunningham and Steven Smith to name a few all getting miles under their belts again

Although not club members but well done to the Jocks abroad with the 3 crews taking part in Sweden over the weekend on the East Sweden Rally

Sad news yesterday with the cancelling due to lack of entries of the Galloway Hills in September what would have been the last round of the SRC

Thanks to Black Mountain Media for the action shot from Mewla (stolen from FB)

Evening all a bit early cause I can a very well done to our own CCC Scottish Championship Navigator Chris Lees on his endeavours over the weekend alongside Ian Forgan in the Mercury Motorsport Fiesta Rally 2 on the Down Rally in Northern Ireland see below Ianā€™s take on the weekends rally

2026 Down Rally completed āœ”ļø in the Mercury Motorsport Ltd. Fiesta Rally2, finished 13th overall and 5th Protyre Motorsport UK Asphalt rally championship crew.
Not without our challenges over the first two loops but finally solved a mystery problem to have the car running perfectly for the last loop setting a couple of times well within the top 10 which is where our true pace should have been. So good to have it working as it should again, makes me fall back in love with it again šŸ„°
Have to say a massive thank you for the welcome we have received coming over here to Ireland for the first time and the generosity of fellow competitor Derek McGeehan for the radiator after the first loop and Race & Rally for the battery after my mistake šŸ¤­
Well done to the team for all their efforts, they worked hard for this one and of course to the new SRC Champion codriver for another faultless performance šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘šŸ‘

Morning all thatā€™s the weekendā€™s Grampian Rally done for another year and what a rally
With the superstars in attendance the pace was epic and the results were predictable with the WRC boys leading the way at the end of the day

But our own Max McRae was in the midst of it setting a couple of stage fastest times but for a couple of punctures things could have been different

Best on the day in the Coltness camp were

7th overall and 7 th in Class were Max McRae and Cammy Fair in the Skoda Fabia Rally 2 also claiming P2 in the British Championship behind the Toyota Yaris of Ossian Price who finished 4th

10 th overall and 10 th in Class were Chris Lees navigating for Alex Vassallo in their WildWater Seafoods Ford Fiesta Rally 2 this result secured Chris the title of 2026 Scottish Rally Championdhip Champion Navigator šŸ šŸ‘‘

26th overall and 18th in Class went to Bob Adamson and Emma Clarke in the Volkswagen Polo R5 the Polo was not running right and an engine issue will have to be looked at before their next outing

30 th overall and 19 th in Class went to Ewan Lees sitting alongside Alan Dickson in a Ford Fiesta R5

Sadly John (JC) Crawford and navigator Josh Davidson came to grief on SS7 when the Goudies Ford Fiesta Rally 2 rolled ending their rally

Well done to all and well done to Stonehaven and District Motor Club on a great event šŸšŸ

04/08/2026

Morning all a day late and a horrible morning to wake up to but after a long weekend of rallying for Coltness registered competitors again here goes

In Cumbria in the Pendragon Stages on the ranges in Warcop best on the day

8th overall and 1st in Class
RICKY WHEELER and Marc Casey in the Historic MK11

11th overall and 8 th in Class were JAMES GIBB and Bonnie Papper in a borrowed Fiesta R5

44th overall and 19th in Class FIONA MOIR sitting in with Cammy Williamson in a Subaru Impreza

58 th overall and 8 th in Class went KENNY WATT and GAIL WHYTE in the little BMC Mini

Sadly 2 CCC cars failed to finish

ROSS CARBRY and JESS JAMIESON in the Citroen C1 didnā€™t manage to the finish of SS1 after an engine mount snapped and put them out the rally

The Subaru Impreza GC8 of Paul Burns with ADAM MILLAR onboard managed SS1 but with disturbing noises come from the gearbox the guys called it a day

Meanwhile at the Heroes Rally at Weeton Barracks best were

5th overall and 3rd in Class were Ross Fernie and BRYAN HAMILTON in the Subaru Impreza

26th overall and 9th in Class were Ian Martin and HARRY STUBBS not the best of days in the Ford Es**rt but without what looks like a stage maximum and notional time things could have been better

In Lincolnshire on the Dennis Turner Memorial Rally it was STEVEN BREAKEYā€™S first event with experienced competitor Andy Walshaw alongside in a hired BMW Mini, the lads had a ball but with only road tyres supplied they suffered 3 punctures taking stage maximumā€™s after a change to 2nd hand slicks this was a game changer and they set some impressive times among the minis gaining more confidence as the day went on finishing 50 th overall and 13th in Class

Unfortunately I canā€™t find results for Rali Da Madeira but over the weekend Kriss Meeke and STUART LOUDON were competing in a Gazoo Racing Toyota GR Yaris Rally 2 after a bad start early on with bump they climbed back setting some fastest times but as I said canā€™t seem to find final results but they will be back šŸ
Next week the great and the good descend on the Grampian Rally and as always CCC will be there
