Motorsport UK confirms FIA Eco Rally Scotland will return to Dundee from 31 July to 2 August following the success of the inaugural event last year. Running as an official round of the 2026 FIA Eco Rally Cup, the event will be expanded to incorporate the new StreetCar Festival Scotland, a unique festival of sustainable motorsport and community participation.
Bringing together international competition, grassroots motorsport and family-friendly experiences, the combined event will showcase how modern motorsport is both accessible and sustainable while highlighting Dundee’s position as a leading centre for innovation and future mobility.
Under the theme “Adventure. Electrified.” FIA Eco Rally Scotland is one of the most accessible routes into a genuine FIA international competitive event and is open to two-person crews using standard production electric vehicles. Combining navigation, endurance and strategy across Scotland’s spectacular landscape and requiring no previous experience, it is the ultimate electric-powered road trip.
FIA Eco Rally Scotland will welcome international competitors to Scotland while demonstrating how everyday electric vehicles can be used in the challenging and rewarding competitive motorsport environment.
Dundee will be transformed during the event for the inaugural StreetCar Festival Scotland, creating a highly visible city-centre celebration that will introduce new audiences to grassroots motorsport. Visitors will be able to experience a wide range of activities including AutoSOLO passenger rides, touring assemblies, Esports experiences, EV showcases, test drives and family-friendly attractions.
Designed to help more people enjoy motorsport more often, the festival will also include a Girls Karting Academy Taster Day, helping inspire future generations of female competitors by opening up new pathways into the sport.
Dundee will provide an ideal backdrop for the event, reinforcing the city’s growing reputation for future mobility, sustainable transport infrastructure, innovation and community engagement. Several local businesses and locations have already confirmed participation, including Bell Street Mobility Hub, Abertay University and John Clark Motor Group, while evolt has been confirmed as the event’s charging partner, supporting competitors and helping showcase the role of electric powertrains in motorsport.
“We’re delighted to confirm the return of FIA Eco Rally Scotland, boosted by the inaugural StreetCar Festival which will create a fantastic atmosphere in Dundee this summer. Together with next year’s Rally Scotland bringing the FIA World Rally Championship to the country, these events represent a new chapter for motorsport in Scotland.
FIA Eco Rally Scotland and StreetCar Festival Scotland will bring together international competition, grassroots participation and future mobility in a way that allows more people than ever before to enjoy motorsport. Whether competing in FIA Eco Rally Scotland, enjoying a passenger ride or simply joining the festival atmosphere, visitors will discover that there is a motorsport for everyone.”
