Competitors on next month’s Jim Clark Rally will face a brand new challenge on this 43rd running of the event over the weekend of May 31 to June 2.
The organisers will introduce a completely new five-mile special stage which has never been used before.
“The new stage offers everything a rally driver wants, fast flowing bends, dips and hollows, and some tight, nadgery stuff – and a very good reason to heave a big sigh of relief at the end of it,” said clerk of the course George Hay.
