International Rally Racing on the roads on Berwickshire.

Now one of the biggest motor sport events in the UK, the Jim Clark Rally is a fitting celebration of a local hero and motor racing legend.
The action will start with a shakedown stage to be held in the grounds of Floors Castle on Thursday evening. This is a great spectacle as well as a very useful opportunity for the competitors to try out their cars on similar surfaces as they will be competing on.

The International and National rallies get things underway on Friday afternoon with around fifty miles of stages in the Lammermuir Hills. These two events are joined on Saturday morning by competitors from the BRC Stars of the Future Series and the Ford Fiesta Sporting Trophy in shorter events designed just for them. All of these events finish back in Kelso on Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday it is the turn of the Reivers Rally, a National B status event which is part of the Scottish Championship. This event, which starts from Duns, will feature stages in the Lammermuir Hills as well as others in the west of Berwickshire.
All of the events will be centrally serviced from the one time racetrack and airfield at Charterhall.

Entry is charged to many of the rally's favourite viewing spots. You can avoid the queues by the advance purchase of a Jim Clark Supporter Pack; this will give you a Rally Dangler allowing unhindered access to those premier viewing spots.

The Supporter Pack includes many other goodies including: Programme & Spectator Guide, Rally Map, parking, entry to Charterhall and pass to special stages.
