Route

The route for 2011's Rally of Scotland is now confirmed as featuring a ceremonial start at Stirling Castle on the Friday afternoon followed by the first competitive timed stage mileage taking place on the new Carron Valley stage on the Stirlingshire / North Lanarkshire border later that evening.

The event then moves into Perthshire on the Saturday, taking in classic stages such as Craigvinean, Drummond Hill and Errochty before a return on the Sunday to North Lanarkshire and Stirlingshire for another run through Carron Valley as well as two new tests, Loch Chon and the giant 27km High Corrie that will each be tackled twice.

The Rally will then finish late afternoon on the Sunday with its two short final stages through the majestic grounds of Scone Palace near Perth - also the scene for this year's ceremonial finish.

The main Service Park will again be based at Perth Airport and there will be a re-group in Perth City Centre during Saturday afternoon 8 October. From approximately 13:30 there will be a regroup of the competing cars in front of the Perth Concert Hall at Horse Cross, Bridge Lane where fans will be able to see the crews and collect autographs. A Pipe Band will bring a Scottish flavour to the proceedings.

Simplified 'pay on the gate' strategy for 2011 event

Details of ticket prices and how to purchase them for this year's event - the penultimate round of the high-profile Intercontinental Rally Challenge on the weekend of 7-9 October - are now confirmed.

In a change to previous years, fans will now instead purchase single car park passes at £20 per vehicle at the entry to each of the stage car parks providing spectator access. The same 'window sticker' can be used when the IRC's crews burst through a stage for the second time - provided fans return to the same car park. The only exception is for the single run through the new Carron Valley stage on the Sunday morning when £10 per vehicle will be charged. Each car park pass will include the provision of a copy of the Official Programme (value £6.50). (No refunds will be issued for any stages that are cancelled.)

It will not be possible to book tickets for this year's Rally of Scotland in advance. However, details of a host of excellent VIP hospitality packages that can be pre-booked will become available soon.

This year's Rally of Scotland could see the crowning of a new IRC Champion as one and a half times the normal points on offer for a win will be up for grabs. That is expected to lead to a first-class overseas entry while also attracting a number of leading domestic crews eager to make a name on the international stage. In addition to the headlining IRC event and further adding to the entertainment, spectators will see a supporting rally for national crews being held on Saturday's and Sunday's stages.
