RSAC Scottish Rally Visits Dalbeattie Primary School
The RSAC Scottish Rally has made Dalbeattie its home over the last couple of years, and the relationship between the event and the local community continues to grow.
On 18th July, event supporters and local business Jas P Wilson will open their doors as the official base for this year’s rally. Creating a fitting partnership that reflects the strong ties the event has built in the town.
The community connection was on full display on Wednesday 24th June, when members of the organising team visited Dalbeattie Primary School to give pupils a taste of what the rally brings to their doorstep. Event Clerk of the Course, Jonathan Lord gave the children an insight into how a rally comes together, while Environmental Scrutineer Peter Clingan shared the safety knowledge that keeps motorsport running responsibly.
Local competitors Niall Cowan Jr and Mark McCulloch also attended, bringing their rally cars for the children to see up close. Niall arrived with his MG3, while Mark brought his Proton fresh from a third-place podium finish at the Argyll Rally.
The day finished off with the announcement of the children’s helmet colouring competition. With the winners receiving prizes to mark the occasion.
