John Clark Motor Group revealed as ceremonial start for ecoRally Scotland
John Clark Motor Group, the cutting-edge multi-franchise dealership at Broomhill Road, Dundee, will host the ceremonial start for ecoRally Scotland.
The event, which this year will be a points scoring round of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, will form Round eight of the 14 round FIA Championship which spans the globe.
The site is home to John Clark SEAT, Skoda, CUPRA, and an extensive selection of approved used vehicles. Designed with industry-leading customer experience in mind, the facility sets a new benchmark in automotive retail and aftersales services.
Beyond new car sales, the site boasts a vast outdoor display featuring more than 200 Approved Used models, providing customers with an extensive selection including commercial vehicles. The state-of-the-art workshop is equipped with 25 service bays, including dedicated MOT and express-fit tyre bays, all fitted with the latest automotive technology.
ecoRally is open to fully electric (EV) vehicles, during which teams of two (driver and navigator) and their Electric Vehicle, will tackle a road route starting out from Dundee, navigating stunning scenery across Tayside.
Teams will need to record all check points within the given times and complete ‘regularity tests’ checking average speed along the route – precision navigating, problem solving and teamwork will be the order of the day.
Ian Smith, Technical Director, Motorsport UK, comments, “The new John Clark Group site at Broomhill Road is the perfect location to celebrate the start of the 2025 Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Scotland.
“John Clark has a long and successful motorsport heritage and is a generous supporter of the sport in Scotland.
“Motorsport UK are excited by the opportunity to establish the ecoRally as a new international event for Scotland in Dundee in partnership with John Clark Group and to build on the success of the 2025 event over the coming years alongside continued success for John Clark Group at Broomhill Road.”
“We are incredibly proud to be the ceremonial start location for ecoRally Scotland and to support such an innovative and forward-thinking motorsport event,” said John Clark OBE, Group Chairman of John Clark Motor Group.
“As a business deeply committed to the future of mobility, sustainability, and cutting-edge automotive technology, hosting this leg of the Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup aligns perfectly with our values. It is a privilege to welcome competitors from around the world to our Broomhill Road facility in Dundee and to showcase the role Scotland plays in the global push toward cleaner, more efficient transport.”
