Dont know Dougster. Buy the Sun tomorrow, it has a pull out in it all about the JCMR.
Even if it aint then the best action in on Sat and Sunday on the closed roads.
Only one word needed...AMAZING.

Motorsport news will have detailed maps of the route and spectator access points. Out next wednesday.

No, not coming to Edinburgh at all as the Ocean Terminal sponsorship has finished. JCMR will be based at Kelso racecourse this year. Service at Charterhall with stage there as well I understand.

I'll be there, haven't missed a year of the JCMR yet.

I've seen the entry list, top 20 cars are all WRC cars.
10 Impreza WRC's including 3 S9's (last years models).

3 of us were across in Ireland last weekend for the Donegal Rally, and if it's half as good as that, I'll be delighted.

Just need to find some pubs in Kelso that sells Guiness.

David

P.S.
International cars are Friday afternoon & evening. And all day Saturday.
Scottish Nationals are Sunday.

Well I was thinking about a sleeping bag in the back of the wagon. WAGONS RULE BTW

Last time I was down was in 99 and I took a young Foz to introduce him to marshalling. Only took us 40 miles out of ABZ before we got pulled by the police! The lada estate was another unforgettable moment.

Hello,
I have been up for the JC for the last 2 years, best rally of the year IMHO. I am staying at the marshals campsite at kelso racecourse. I think its £10 if you are not marshaling, we have a good laugh drinking till the early hours
