The roar of the World Rally Championship is returning to the United Kingdom.
Rally Scotland is officially back in the World Rally Championship as part of a blockbuster 15-round expanded calendar for the 2027 season.
The UK returns to the WRC for the first time since 2019, with Rally Scotland confirmed for September 30 to October 3, 2027.
Developed with Motorsport UK and backed by the Scottish Government and local authorities, the Aberdeen-based event will reconnect the WRC with one of its most passionate and established fanbases, while showcasing Scotland’s legendary forest roads to a global audience.
Rally Scotland will be headquartered at The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA), with Rally HQ and the Service Park based at the venue. Competition will take place on closed forest gravel roads across north-east Scotland — fast, flowing and unforgiving.
The return represents a major milestone in the WRC’s international growth strategy, opening new opportunities in one of the world’s largest automotive and motorsport markets.
It also provides a huge platform for the championship’s manufacturer partners, particularly Ford, alongside broadcasters, commercial stakeholders and UK rally fans who have waited eight years for this moment.
WRC. Scotland. The forests. It’s back.
