The Colin McRae Forest Stages GHI Rally returns to Perth again on the 24th of July 2004.
Colin will again run as opening car again this year in a MkII ford Escort. Following Colin will be both Alistair and Jimmy running as 00 and 000 cars in Jardine Lloyd Thompson sponsored Subarus.
Rally HQ for the weekend is Dewars Ice rink The centre will host a Friday night rally forum where a number of stars will be there to make a top line-up. There will also be some stalls including programme sales and Coltness Car club merchandise as well as some cars on display within the ice rink next to scruitineering.
A city centre start will get things underway on the Saturday with the start ramp being right in the heart of Perth's shopping centre. An enthusiastic Perth & Kinross Council and other event partners will be providing a number of "add-on" attractions.
This year's rally route is along similar lines as last year, with 4 stages covering 45stage miles and retaining central servicing in Aberfeldy. This means that competitors will again have a chance of tackling some of British rallying's most famous forests, stages such as Craigvinean, Errochty, Drummond Hill and this year Fonab.
Both the 2002/2003 events brought large crowds to the forests, all of which braved the dust to see their hero Colin McRae in action, so we encourage all spectators to book their spot early and safely.
