The process began with key internal and external stakeholder meetings,which aimed to provide SMS with a broad understanding of the relevant issues affecting the sport. This included meetings with a diverse range of individuals and clubs within the sport, as well as meetings with organisations such as Sportscotland, EventScotland and Governing Bodies of other Sports. The knowledge gained from these meetings was valuable and it guided the content for an SMS survey, which was launched in April 2014. This survey aimed to gather the views and opinions of the whole Scottish motor sport community. It generated a total of 572 responses from a diverse range of individuals holding an interest in Scottish motor sport.individuals holding an interest in Scottish motor sport.

An in depth analysis of the survey (a summary of which can be viewed on the news page of our website) identified areas that the emerging strategy should focus on. This has enabled SMS(in conjunction with the MSA and SACU) to develop a draft strategic plan. This document will be socialised to the Scottish motor sport community during the month of August for comment. Feedback from this process will be considered and alterations made where necessary, before the plan is submitted to Sportscotland for their consideration.

The previous months have therefore seen a considerable amount of work going into the ongoing production of this plan.

Susie Wolffbiography

Susie Wolff, 31, made history when she becomes the first female in 22 years to drive at a GP weekend at Silverstone on 4th July. It was a pivotal moment in a career that Susie has set her sights upon since a young age. Wolff’s test at Silverstone was caught short after a mechanical failure but she went on to complete a successful test at the German GP being placed 15th overall.

For Oban born Susie, racing is in the blood, her mum met her dad when she bought her first motorbike off him. By the age of two Susie was on a little bike and by 8, racing go karts. Not long after she was successfully participated in karting championships in Scotland and England. Aged 14, she had taken the top positions at both participated in karting championships in Scotland and England. Aged 14, she had taken the top positions at both European and international level. Attending a Formula 3 race in 1996 at Donington Park Circuit and experiencing Jenson Button’s victory, she decided to follow her dream of becoming a racing driver-all the way up to Formula 1.

Her debut in single-seater racing was in 2001 when she started off with Formula Renault. In 2003 Susie was selected as the BRDC Rising Star and in addition she qualified as the only woman for the final round of the coveted McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver Award in 2003 and 2004. The following year she made the leap into the British F3 International Series. But after just four races she was forced to pull out because of braking her into the British F3 International Series. But after just four races she was forced to pull out because of braking her ankle. Her future within motor racing was at a tipping point. But the supposed end turned into a new beginning: only one day after she realised her career in Formula 3 could be over due to financial issues, she received a call from Mercedes-Benz and got invited to a DTM test - one week later she signed a contract. In 2006 Susie debuted in DTM and finished her first race within the top ten. For seven years, she was an In 2006 Susie debuted in DTM and finished her first race within the top ten. For seven years, she was an established racing driver in one of the most popular touring car series in the world. 2010 then became her most successful season within DTM: at Lausitzring and at Hockenheim she finished seventh and made points as first woman in DTM after almost 20 years. She ended her fifth season ahead of her brand colleagues Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard!

In 2012 Susie took the next step in her career and was signed as a development driver for Williams F1 Team. Her progression in the team will see her become the first female driver to compete in a Formula 1 Grand Prix session in over two decades, as she achieves her super license and takes to the wheel in the Williams FW36 in session in over two decades, as she achieves her super license and takes to the wheel in the Williams FW36 in two FP1 sessions this summer.

Susie also continues her work as a FIA Women in Motorsport ambassador as well as her work as a representative of the Wings for Life Foundation that has set an ultimate goal to make spinal cord injury curable. She knows that a spinal injury can hit everyone: her grandfather has been in a wheelchair since a diving accident. Susie Stoddart married Toto Wolff in October 2011. From that date on she switched to racing under her married name, Susie Wolff.

Scottish Ford Fiesta Championship

Fiesta racing in Scotland is usually hotly contested, and 2014 has continued this trend, although we definitely have seen a tale of two halves in the two different classes.

In the XR category, where Hamish Smart took the opening two victories of the year, things have changed dramatically at the front as Steven Gray stepped in to capitalise on Hamish’s misfortune in Round 2, Steven winning both this time out. Round 3 saw the tables turned back around with Hamish out in a different car and claiming both victories again, even if Steven held the lead in the table after better overall results. To round up the last meeting, Steven took one victory (in another new car to the grid for the year) whilst yet again the gremlins last meeting, Steven took one victory (in another new car to the grid for the year) whilst yet again the gremlins struck the Smart camp with an engine failure in the first race allowing Gray to extend his points lead. Race 2 saw all sorts of topsy turvy racing, as we have come to expect in the XR class. Hamish was at the back with a replacement engine that was clearly not as healthy as he might have hoped, whilst Gray, tussling with Jim Deans, John Balfour and Josh Orr had an off at Leslie’s leaving him with cracked ribs and a slightly second hand looking car. Jim Deans stepped up to the plate and registered his first win in Peter Cruickshank’s old championship winning XR, with Josh getting on the second step of the podium for the first time and John cementing a good run winning XR, with Josh getting on the second step of the podium for the first time and John cementing a good run of results with his third consecutive visit to the thuird step of the podium.

Whilst XR2 racing has seen several winners so far this year, Wayne MacAuley has been driving beautifully, and has had it all his own way so far with an unblemished record of 8 straight wins. Wayne record of 8 straight wins. Wayne is quite clear about his goal, however, and now wants to go and create what might be only the second clean sweep of class wins in Scottish motorsport. I am sure he would prefer some competition, so step up, ST Owners, and take him on!Owners, and take him on!

With several new people coming to join us in the coming meetings, and new enquiries hitting our Inbox this week, we have reason to be cheerful in Camp Fiesta – come and join us and see what it is all about! www.facebook.com/scottishfiestaracing scottishfiesta@gmail.com www.smrc-uk.com

motorsport rules, okHow do I prepare for scrutineering?In the previous article, we looked at how you could use your everyday car for competing. Now we'll have a look at some of the items that are checked at scrutineering and what you should do to prepare your road car for competition. Scrutineers are volunteers and many of us have been involved as competitors, prepared cars and organised events. Our role is to carry out basic safety checks and that the car meets technical regulations. We want you to compete, safely. However, it remains the responsibility of the competitor to make sure they comply with the regulations .One of the first things that the scrutineer does is have a general look at the car. Does the bodywork look tidy and One of the first things that the scrutineer does is have a general look at the car. Does the bodywork look tidy and in good condition with no loose parts hanging off that could become detached, or sharp edges that could injure? Giving the car a clean, inside and out, before the event will give you the opportunity to check things over, and scrutineers like clean cars. Tyres should generally be fit for use on the road, so no damage, properly inflated, and a legal depth of tread. (Some events may restrict what tyres you can use, but this will be covered in a later article.) The tread should be covered by the wing or arch and shouldn't be rubbing on the bodywork. Wheel trims should be removed, as these covered by the wing or arch and shouldn't be rubbing on the bodywork. Wheel trims should be removed, as these

could fly off. Have a good look at the condition of your tyres and at the same time grab the top, then the sides of the tyres and give them a good tug to feel for any play in the suspension or hub bearings. If there is, the forces in competition will increase that wear and they may fail. Scrutineers will carry out similar checks.checks.Under the bonnet, check the basics; oils, coolant, fluids. Check the battery is secure and has covers over the terminals. Have a look for leaks or seepage, they will only get worse. Scrutineers look for leaks, check the security of the battery, and brake fluid level, but won't check the oil and water for you.

Talking of brakes, you will probably use them a lot harder in competition than on the road, so make sure they are in good order. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it will absorb moisture from the air. With hard braking generating heat, this could cause the fluid to boil resulting in the brake pedal the fluid to boil resulting in the brake pedal going to the floor and no brakes. Not a good feeling. Brakes must be checked and fluid replaced regularly. Inside the car, remove anything that you don't need, or that could be a distraction, and make sure everything else is secure. You don't want a can of de-icer rolling out You don't want a can of de-icer rolling out from under the seat and jamming under the pedals under braking, nor your phone flying across the dash. Unless you're rallying, you won't need maps, nor your GPS. Indeed in navigation rallies, any fitted GPS must not be used, so you need to use Ordnance Maps. You should also think whether or not you need to carry the extra weight of a spare wheel, jack, tools, oils etc. these add considerable weight, reducing performance, and could cause damage or distraction if they move about unexpectedly. If you have a camera fitted, this must be securely mounted. A camera hitting you, a marshal, spectator, or another car can cause problems. spectator, or another car can cause problems. So far, all this preparation will probably sound simple and common sense, but these examples of problems have all been seen at scrutineering. Next time, we'll look at some of the safety and performance modifications you might consider. By Renny Thomson

Malcolm Wilson...hard work and dedication

Malcolm Irving Wilson, OBE (born 17 February 1956) is a British former rally driver and current owner of team and constructor M-Sport. And what is it like to be in charge of one of the biggest rally companies in the world?We have asked Malcolm just that, and more...

Q: How would you sum up this year so far for M-sport?A: All in all I would say that it has been a very good year. We've had some incredible success in our first season with the Bentley Continental GT3 and the new Ford Fiesta R5 has gone from strength to strength. There are more Ford Fiestas on the WRC entry lists than ever before and we have some very impressive young drivers coming Ford Fiestas on the WRC entry lists than ever before and we have some very impressive young drivers coming through the ranks which bodes well for the future.

Q: What makes VW so dominant at the moment? A: There's no denying that VW are in a very strong position at the moment. They have a competitive car, but they also have three exceptionally talented drivers at the height of their careers.

Q: What is secret behind success of M-Sport in motor sport? (in general)A: Hard work and dedication. I am very fortunate to have a fantastic workforce at M-Sport. Everyone is striving towards the same goal and it is that teamwork that has enabled us to get to this position.towards the same goal and it is that teamwork that has enabled us to get to this position.

Q: Is there any driver in the UK that could follow footsteps of Elfyn? (M-sport long term programme)? A: Elfyn is our main priority at the moment, but there are certainly some talented Brits coming through the ranks. Tom Cave, for example, has shown some very encouraging speed in the Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy.

Q: What do you do on your "day off" if you get one?A: As a Cumbrian born and bred, I like to spend any days off in the region – having lunch with friends in some of the county's first-class restaurants.

Q:Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?A: In ten years' time, I would hope that I'm still driving M-Sport towards further success.

Q: Where do you see M-sport in 10 years?A: We have some big plans for M-Sport which should hopefully see the company grow even stronger. I can't divulge too much at the moment, but if the plans go ahead it would be great news for M-Sport and for the region.

Q: Is there anything that you still wish to achieve? (personal and professional life)A: A WRC drivers' title has eluded us over the years, so it would be nice to get one of those, and of course some more manufacturers' titles.more manufacturers' titles.

Q: If you could include 1 favourite rally into WRC, which one would it be? (One that isnt in current WRC)A: There's no question about that one, it would have to be the Safari Rally. There is no other event like it and it is the ultimate test of driver, car and team.

Q: Favourite car that you ever worked with?A: MK2 Escort 2 Ltr BDA. That was an amazing car.

Q: Is a well known fact that current promoter of WRC is not doing enough to make the championship more "fans friendly". Would you like to see more TV coverage or do you think that future of WRC is in internet?"fans friendly". Would you like to see more TV coverage or do you think that future of WRC is in internet?A: The new promoter is working hard to improve the accessibility of the sport. We [myself and other team managers] have had numerous meetings with the promoter and the plans they have look very promising indeed. Time will tell, but for the moment we are all very optimistic for the future of the WRC.

Q: And finally: A romantic dinner with your wife in perfect scenery or a run with Sebastian Loeb in Ouninpohja stage (in Ford obviously).A: After his performance in Finland, I might be tempted to say a run through Ouninpohja with JM Latvala... followed by a dinner with my wife of course.followed by a dinner with my wife of course.

between special stages. In fact, if a competitor is caught speeding by the Polis, then he or she is automatically excluded from the results.

The other big concern that organisers face is spectators, and the numbers rise dramatically when the weather is warm and sunny. Facilities have to be provided, but since amateur rallies are not allowed to charge spectators for viewing, there is little chance to generate income to provide such facilities. On that basis, car clubs are reliant on other local organisations, such as Rotary Clubs, Cadets or Scouts to run Car Parks for them and the income is shared between good causes and rally organisers.shared between good causes and rally organisers. That's why it is important that spectators go to official car parks, because they know the money is going to a good cause! It also means that facilities have been created at the stage for them to view the rally and this is of particular benefit to newcomers to the sport.

But all this has to be planned well ahead of the rally and Marshals have to be briefed about where to tape off the briefed about where to tape off the spectator enclosures. Roadside signage has to be put in place too and this has to be checked immediately prior to the rally – because 'souvenir hunters' have a nasty habit of pinching these signs. So if you ever see anyone doing it, take a note of their car number and report it to rally their car number and report it to rally officials. As for the organisation of the event itself,it may surprise you to know that planning for the 2015 Scottish Rally started even before the first car left the Start Ramp in Dumfries town centre on this year's event.Dumfries town centre on this year's event.

Planning is a very complex affair and involves not only the Forestry Commission based in Edinburgh, but their local Forestry offices and officers in the forests where each special stage is located. That also means liaising with other landowners, nearby farmers, local landowners, nearby farmers, local authorities, Roads Departments, and of course the Police. Not to mention the sport's governing body, the MSA, the specialist event insurance company, and all those who provide additional services to the rally. All of this takes time and effort - and it is all accomplished by volunteers. Car Clubs are always on the look-out for more volunteers so if you fancy a bit of fresh air (in all its Scottish varieties!) then speak to any official or Marshal at an event, find out where your local club meets, and pop along.

The Volkswagen Golf R is not a ‘hot hatch’. It’s better than that, much better. Over recent years, the term ‘hot hatch’ has come to be associated with baseball hats, boom boxes and handbrake turns. The new Golf R rises haughtily above such common nonsense. And at 30 grand for a 3 door runabout it’s a bit classier than a terylene tracksuit, lavatory chain necklace and dayglo trainers.

Nope, this is a sophisticated performance car in its own right, but it won’t suit everyone. The ride can be quite lumpy at times and the noise can become annoying, so the weekly shopping run could become a chore to those who simply want a runabout.who simply want a runabout.

It’s only when you press the loud pedal that its character really comes alive, the suspension smoothes itself out (a bit!) and the noise becomes music. This is a car for fun and games, enjoyment and driving satisfaction.

That’s down to two things. The power and the grip. Under the bonnet is a 2 litre, four cylinder TSI engine producing 296 bhp which is transferred to the road through a six speed gearbox and VW’s 4-Motion four wheel drive system. This is predominantly a front wheel drive car, but when the driver gets too ambitious, the electronic brain will start transferring more drive to the rear wheels depending on how much difficulty the guy with the steering wheel has got himself into!steering wheel has got himself into!

And whilst the power is expected and appreciated given the figures, it is the amount of grip generated that is really quite surprising. Whereas roundabouts, especially wet ones, can be fun in most cars, the Golf R dispatches them with disdain. If you keep within the nation’s speed limits you’re nerve will give way before the Golf loses grip.

It’s the same with tight bends on open stretches of road. It’s the same with tight bends on open stretches of road. Brake. Turn in. Corner. Accelerate. That would be boring, but for the speed with which such tasks can be carried out. The rate at which this car gobbles up such roads is breathtaking. That’s because it’s not just the grip through the bends that amazes. The mechanical grip means braking can be left till stupidly late and still pull the car up strongly and safely with the g-forces thrusting you -up strongly and safely with the g-forces thrusting you -

against the belts, then trying to chuck you out the side door before propelling you back into the seat on the exit when you give it the beans. It is truly exhilarating.

All this activity in the front seat is accompanied by a grumbling soundtrack which is enhanced by a ‘soundaktor’ (sound actuator) behind the dashboard under the windscreen. This is down to a wee ‘gubbins’ which vibrates and resonates through the ‘gubbins’ which vibrates and resonates through the screen and makes the engine sound bigger, gruffer and more powerful. I found it fun at first, but I grew tired of it, which rather surprised me as I like to hear an engine work. Perhaps it was the falseness of it, but according to some of the web-site Forums, it is quite easy to ‘switch off’.

The only other niggle was the lack of a manual The only other niggle was the lack of a manual handbrake. The new Golf R comes with one of those button-operated, electronic things which are far too advanced for the average caveman to cope with. However, it will remove one car from the ‘hot-hatchers’ guide to cars worth nicking for an evening’s joy-ride through the housing estates.

Inside the car, it’s pure Volkswagen. Dark and firmly comfortable and although there is a decent amount of room in the back, getting in from the front (on the 3 door car) is quite a sprachle, but it will deter the mother-in-law from in the back, getting in from the front (on the 3 door car) is quite a sprachle, but it will deter the mother-in-law from coming along.Outwardly it’s a good looking car with sufficient tasteful ‘bling’ just to make it stand out, like the 19 inch alloys, chrome strip along the bottom of the front air-dam and the four exhaust pipes sticking out the back!

Fuel economy? If that’s a priority, look elsewhere. Having said that, it is relatively easy to generate fuel consumption figures of around 34/35 mpg, but it is much easier (and much more fun) to generate figures around 18/19 mpg!It won’t be to everyone’s taste, the jiggly ride at low speeds over anything less than smooth roads will put a lot of folk off, and the noise will deter commuters. But show this car an open road and all those little quibbles will disappear faster than the roundabout in your rear vision mirror.

2014 Brick & Steel Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge

After 3 rounds out of 8, the top 2 places in the Brick & Steel Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge have been dominated by Alex Vassallo/Neil Coleman and Dylan O’Donnell/Tom Middlemiss. Alex used his trusty Citroen C1 for the 3 events but Dylan switched from a Nissan Micra to a Peugeot 107 for the third round at Kames on 13th July. This brought him much closer to Alex and the chase will be on for the rest of the season.

Sitting comfortably in third Championship position after 3 rounds is Michael Robertson/Phil Sandham in a Toyota Aygo. Mikey Dickie/Martin Forrest (Toyota Aygo) has battled with Michael for this place on all 3 events but Mikey has been the one with the bad luck. A trip onto the grass on the first round cost him dearly and a but Mikey has been the one with the bad luck. A trip onto the grass on the first round cost him dearly and a spectacular roll on round three meant a no-score for that event. But Mikey is holding onto fifth place.

Sharing fifth place is Brodie Balfour/Ian Nicol (Toyota Aygo) who also dropped a score on round two with a gearbox problem. But Brodie scored strongly on the other 2 rounds.

And in sixth place and rounding off the Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107 brigade is Brandon Walsh. Brandon is actually on his second car this year having destroyed his brand new C1 on the first round. So there has been a lot of caution in his approach on rounds two and three.

Only 4 drivers have scored on all 3 rounds. And one of these is newcomer Cameron Russell (Nissan Micra) who Only 4 drivers have scored on all 3 rounds. And one of these is newcomer Cameron Russell (Nissan Micra) who is sitting in fourth place in the Championship. His 3 newcomer companions for 2014 – Harris Wilson, Harry Chalmers, Finlay Retson - are sitting at eighth, ninth and tenth. All 3 have dropped 1 score.

The other very unlucky driver in 2014 has been Craig MacIvor who rolled his immaculate Micra on the very first round when challenging for a podium place. So Craig’s season will not really start until round four with a rebuilt car..

And so the next 3 months will be critical to secure good end of season Championship positions. Because only 6 scores count, the leaders will have to drop 2 scores at some point and that should see the drivers who have scores count, the leaders will have to drop 2 scores at some point and that should see the drivers who have already had to drop scores closing up.

The next round will be the Solway Coast Rally near Kirkcudbright on 10th August. This is a very popular and demanding event and crews from England, Wales and Northern Ireland will join the Ecosse crews. There will be more than Championship points and positions at stake!!

After that the Championship visits Knockhill for 2 events on 30th August and 20th September before returning to Kames for the third and final time on 19th October.. The very last event will see the Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge crews head down to Anglesey for another excellent and very challenging 2 day event amongst our Challenge crews head down to Anglesey for another excellent and very challenging 2 day event amongst our English/Welsh “cousins” on 1st/2nd November.

is part of a National initiative to get youngsters in the 14 to 17 age group involved in competitive special stage rallying. The Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge started in 2012 with 10 competitors.
