Congratulations also to Tristan Pye winning the B13 class and finishing 4^th overall at the Coppermines Grizedale rally in his Subaru Impreza N14 converted to B13 class regulations.

The recent Scottish round of the IRC was a major event for Rallytech, with Rallytech’s rally car being used for the first time on gravel, and new Rallytech components being used and tested.

With Rallytech working endless days in the weeks prior to Rally Scotland the events arrival would have been seen to many as a relaxing time away from work for Rallytech Director John Swinscoe, however, this couldn’t have been further from the truth.
