The Motorsport UK Scottish Rally Championship was a rallying series run throughout Scotland over the course of a year that comprises both gravel and tarmac surface rallies. The 2026 series commenced on the forest tracks around Inverness on 14 February with the season finale was held in the Grampian Forest Rally around Banchory on 8 August.
The title sponsor for 2026 was Asset Alliance Group for the third year as part of a three-year deal.
Following the Grampian Forest Rally in August, driver Garry Pearson was declared champion, having won 5 of the 6 events thus far. Chris Lees was declared Co-driver champion.
2026 calendar For season 2026 there would be seven events held on both gravel and tarmac surfaces.
On 30 August 2026 the organisers announced the cancellation of the series closing event, the Galloway Hills Rally which was originally scheduled for 12 September 2026. The reason given was the failure to secure enough entries.
