Clerk of the Course Jonathan Lord said: “2020 was to be the 75th running of the RSAC Scottish Rally and we were looking forward to an exciting event both in and away from the forests.

“Deferring this until next year was the only option in light of the current challenges being provided by Covid-19.”
