-

British Rallycross Championsh­ip round winner Andy Scott will return to the series this year with his Albatec Racing team’s Peugeot 208 Supercar.

He will be joined in competitio­n by his son and grandson. Scott Sr had planned to contest the 5 Nations BRX season last year until the health pandemic significan­tly reshaped the calendar and curtailed his plans.

This year 2021 he will be joined by son Marc in the

RX150 Rallycross championsh­ip for single-seater buggies while grandson Finley will tackle the single-make Junior RX class for Suzuki Swifts.

Andy Scott said: “It’s been a while since I’ve competed in rallycross, but I’m very much looking forward to racing against all the familiar names again, and hopefully some new drivers to the 5 Nations Trophy.”

Andy Scott made a one-off appearance in the British RX series in 2018, while his team fielded Mark Higgins to the win the title. Marc Scott is a multiple RX150 class champion and has also raced a Supercar for the family team in the World RX when he deputised for Jacques Villeneuve in the Turkish round in 2014.
