IRC Rally of Scotland preview : The expectations

Alister McRae (United Kingdom), PROTON Satria Neo S2000: "It’s going to be a really good event and an awesome spectacle for the fans. There are going to way more Super 2000 cars doing the event than there were last year and they will all be going extremely quickly. A top five is the target but we’ll keep pushing and you never know where we will end up."

Kris Meeke (United Kingdom), Peugeot 207 S2000: "It’s fair to say things haven’t gone as smoothly for me this year as they did last year so to end the year on a high with a win in Scotland would be very special. It’s a great event with some fantastic stages. After having my victory taken away from last year I’d love to get my own back and get that win."

Guy Wilks (United Kingdom), Skoda Fabia S2000: "Although I’m from the other side of the border in England I do treat this is as my home rally. The event brings back great memories because it’s here that my programme with Skoda UK Motorsport really got started. The stages in Scotland are fast and flowing and provide a real challenge."
