The Hill Rally stage returns again this year to the BVAC Classic on the 8th June and we are delighted to announce the Hill Rally Paddock will be open to all, so visitors too can get up and close to the cars, drivers and teams! 
Another new feature for 2025 is the stage will be running more frequently, so there is even more to see and visitors will be able to enjoy the sight and sound of over 30 Hill Rally monsters, setting off on a special timed stage in the grounds of Thirlestane Castle, as they battle it out to win the Scottish Summer Hill Rally.
The Scottish Summer Hill Rally, which is organised by the Scottish Hill Rally Club, will see competitors tackle stages across the Scottish Borders County on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June, including the special spectator stage within the BVAC Classic at Thirlestane Castle. The event’s rally service park will also be based within the BVAC Classic Showground.
Hill Rallying is a cousin of traditional stage rallying and see’s competitors (driver and co-driver) tackle a variety of off-road stages against the clock; the main difference between hill and stage rallying is that the terrain often tends to be more extreme than in normal stage rallying and as such, so are the competing vehicles! The cars are mostly derived from road going 4×4’s but with some fairly major modifications; expect to see stripped out Land Rover Defender’s with V8 engines giving out 500+ bhp amongst other weird and wonderful off-road monsters!
