British aces ready to battle in Scottish forests
Newly-crowned Scottish national rally champion David Bogie and this year´s IRC title-winner Kris Meeke launched the inaugural RACMSA Rally of Scotland with relish as they looked towards the event which kicks off on November 19.
"This is a brilliant way to end the season for us," said David Bogie. "The stages are spectacular, challenging and exciting for fans and competitors. I will be trying my hardest to give Kris and the IRC regulars a good run, and to do the best that I can on such a high profile event."
British national champion, Irishman Keith Cronin, and former British and Asia-Pacific champion Alister McRae are among those who will be lining up to take a shot at glory. It is a daunting array of talent for Peugeot UK's champion Kris Meeke, who says he is feeling as much pressure to do well in Scotland as he felt in this year's IR title battle.
"The title is won but I have a tremendous amount still to fight for here in Scotland on many levels," said Meeke. "For my season, victory here would make my total score 66 from a possible 70 points - and in a driver's career there aren't many opportunities to put up a record like that. But this is a very special event.
"Scotland has been like a home to me for many years. As those in the sport know, my early career was mentored by Colin McRae and I really was taken into the family fold. I lived here in Scotland when I was starting out and for me this is very much a homecoming event. Doing well here would be the absolute pinnacle of the year but it's not going to be easy and I'm looking forward to a terrific battle with so many top drivers."

Are you Ready?
Just to get you in the mood for the upcoming Roger Albert Clark Rally take a look at this video of last year's event from David Winstanley and Acceleration Television & Video.  I know the sensation is not quite the same as standing in the cold, dark and wet forest whilst these monsters fly past inches from your face showering you in stones and mud but that's what imagination and anticipation are for!  The full version of this video will be available for sale at the rally start at Pickering and at the service halt in Dumfries.
Thanks to Joris Erard for finding this clip and good luck to you and Stefaan. 
Enjoy!

Roger Albert Clark Rally And Boucles de Spa Link Up
Two of the most popular and demanding historic rallies in Europe have formed a unique partnership, which will result in the winner of the Roger Albert Clark Rally having the chance to compete in the Boucles de Spa 0n 20 February 2010. In a reciprocal arrangement, the winner of the Boucles de Spa will be able to contest the 2010 Roger Albert Clark Rally.
The organisers of the two events, both rightly recognised as their country's top historic event, have formed an alliance to cross-promote their events to competitors across Europe.
The winner of next month's Roger Albert Clark Rally will earn a free entry into the famous Belgian event. In return, the Boucles de Spa winner will get a free entry into next year's Roger Albert Clark.
"We're delighted to form this partnership with one of the most successful historic rallies in Europe," said Colin Heppenstall, rally manager of the Roger Albert Clark. "I visited Spa last February and was hugely impressed with the quality and quantity of entry. We've been working for some time to increase the foreign entry in the Roger Albert Clark and this partnership will be a major boost for those plans."
Now firmly established as a must-do event on the British rallying calendar, the Roger Albert Clark Rally re-creates the classic RAC Rallies of the 1960s and 1970s, covering four days in November and taking in classic gravel stages in Yorkshire, Kielder, Scotland and Cumbria.
Meanwhile, the Boucles de Spa is the biggest historic event on the Belgian calendar and attracts a superb field of over 200 cars, including many famous names from rallying's recent history. In 2009, it ran in very snowy conditions as it took in challenging sections around the town of Spa-Francorchamps.

Le Mans Winner Enters Roger Albert Clark Rally
Guy Smith, winner at Le Mans in 2003 for Bentley, will tackle the 2009 Roger Albert Clark Rally alongside his father Peter in what will be Guy's third-ever rally.
The world-renowned sports car racer will contest the four-day rally in a historic specification Ford Escort RS2000, while Peter will be in his regular Porsche 911 for his first attempt at the 13-16 November rally.
"It's in at the deep end," said Guy. "I'm just doing it for fun and the aim is to try and get round without crashing. It will be like doing four or five rallies in one go. It's a bit of a busman's holiday and it is something we can do together for fun."
Guy made his rallying debut in June, having been ecouraged to try the sport by Peter. After a long break from rallying, Peter returned to historic events in April 2008 and contested a full BHRC season this year in the Porsche. XS Racing will look after both cars, with Howard Pridmore alongside Guy and Russ Langthorne, as usual, on the maps for Peter.
"I've not done this event before," said Peter. "I did the Clubmans RAC in 1978. It will be an adventure and it is perfect for me that it starts in Yorkshire!"
Guy recently took his family for a day out to Scarborough and took the opportunity to have a look at Oliver's Mount, which features prominently on the opening day of the Roger Albert Clark. "That's tarmac, so we should be OK on that bit!"
