This year , drivers from across the UK can compete for the chance to win a place in the Scottish Motor Racing Club ’ s ( SMRC ) EcoRally Scotland , running from Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th July , and which is round eight of the 2025 Bridgestone FIA EcoRally Cup .

Five StreetCar Clubs across the UK are hosting a navigational Rally event , and the winner of each event will receive a £ 100 discount towards their entry to the EcoRally Scotland event .

“ Our five events are to introduce EV and hybrid owners to grassroots motorsport in their everyday car ”, adds Claire Kirkpatrick , Director of Club and Volunteer Development . “ We look forward to welcoming even more competitors to join our Motorsport UK community and test their skills to secure a discounted place for the event in July .”

The qualifying five events are :

Scottish Sporting Car Club Rallye-Donia 26th April Oxford Motor Club Eco-Rally 9th May North Wales Car Club StreetCar British Eco-Rally 30th May Ilkley & District Motor Club Eco Economy Run 14th June

The StreetCar programme provides the opportunity for EV and hybrid owners to take part in a variety of disciplines , including Autotest , Rally and Trials and Cross Country events . From Treasure Hunts to Navigational Rally and Historic Rally events , all 12 disciplines can be enjoyed with a standard unmodified hybrid or EV road car .

EcoRally Scotland runs to the FIA EcoRally Cup rules , which follow the traditional Regularity Rally points system but also include points for efficient driving , with the amount of energy used measured by a special FIA box and counted towards the overall scores .

“ As Chair of the organising club , I am immensely proud that , since our initial planning in 2022 and our events in 2023 and 2024 , we have worked up to FIA Championship status ,” says Nic Boyes , Scottish Motor Racing Club Chair ,” with EcoRally Scotland now approved by the World Motorsport Council for July in Dundee . We are committed to promoting carbon neutral motorsport in the face of climate emergency and helping to push motorsport into the future .”

On the event the driver and navigator teams and their Electric Vehicle , tackle a road route starting out from Dundee . Teams will need to record all check points within the given times and complete ‘ regularity tests ’ checking average speed along the route – precision navigating , problem solving , and teamwork will be the order of the day .
