Schumacher Scottish GP – Report

Last weekend saw the running of the BRCA supported Schumacher Scottish Grand Prix, hosted by the Stonehaven club. The BRCA touring car section were keen to explore the possibilities of including clubs further afield from the normal tracks that normally host UK nationals, disappointingly none of the big name UK drivers made the trip but that did not distract from what was a very competitive meeting.
