Intercontinental Rally Challenge 2009

Scotland will stage the final round of the prestigious Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) next year, forming a centrepiece event within the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations.

The Intercontinental Rally Challenge was introduced in 2006 as a new rally series, carrying the endorsement of the FIA and is closely based on production cars, with 2 litre, normally aspirated engines. This format is designed to attract more manufacturers to the sport and is now supported by Fiat, Honda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot and Volkswagen.

The international-status event will be decided by three days of competitive driving over timed Special Stages on closed Forestry Commission Scotland gravel roads in Stirling and Perth and Kinross and will include a ceremonial start, service stop and high profile village featuring additional activity for the many thousands of spectators expected.

Scotland’s stage of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge will take place from 19 to 21 November 2009.
