The Jim Clark Rally is a round on the British Rally Championship calendar, named after 1963 and 1965 Formula One champion Jim Clark. It has been a prominent feature of the BRC calendar since its debut in the series in 1999, and was started in 1970.
The 2014 rally was stopped after the deaths of three spectators, and cancelled for 2015.[1] The organisers announced in November 2015 that the event would be reinstated for 2016 in some form.[2] It was cancelled in 2016 however, due to low entries. The Motor Sports Authority refused the rally a permit for 2017.[3]
