Fans who are unable to make it to the forests of Stirlingshire and Perthshire to catch the action in person on this year’s Rally of Scotland will still be able to tune in to see and hear the live action.

Live TV and on-line coverage
Top TV sports broadcaster Eurosport has announced timings for its coverage of this weekend’s (7-9 October) RACMSA Rally of Scotland that will be beamed live on television and on-line to a worldwide audience.

The event is the crucial penultimate round of this year’s globetrotting Intercontinental Rally Challenge and is being held on high-speed gravel stages through the forests of Perthshire and Stirlingshire.

Saturday’s Errochty 1 (12.00pm) and Errochty 2 (5.30pm) stages near Calvine in Perthshire’s Tummel Forest and Sunday’s High Corrie 1 (11.00am) and the High Corrie 1 (1.45pm) stage in Stirlingshire’s Loch Ard Forest will each receive an hour’s live coverage.

Errochty 1 and 2 plus High Corrie 1 will be shown on Eurosport’s TV channels as well as on-line via the Eurosport Player http://www.eurosportplayer.co.uk. Eurosport Player will then take over for another hour of live coverage of High Corrie 2 from 1.45pm. High Corrie could have a major bearing on the outcome of the result and the IRC title race – at 26km, it is one of longest and most daunting stages of the entire calendar and falls literally within sight of the Rally of Scotland finishing ramp later on Sunday afternoon in the grounds of Scone Palace near Perth.

Eurosport’s live coverage from Rally of Scotland will be further backed up with comprehensive replays and round-up highlights on Sunday evening. Its provisional timetable is:
