Two-time Scottish Rally Champion, Jimmy Girvan, tragically lost his life on Saturday on the second special stage of the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally in Perthshire. The rally was abandoned as a mark of respect.

An extremely popular and well-respected driver, Jimmy had enjoyed considerable success during a 27-year career, claiming Scottish championships in 1990 and again in 2008. He continued to be a leading figure in Scottish rallying and his loss will be felt throughout the entire motor sport community. The Motor Sports Association sends its deepest condolences to Jimmy’s wife, family and extensive network of friends.
