A Castle Douglas father and son are set to tackle the fastest rally on the World Rally Championship calendar.
Donald and Scott Peacock will take on some of the Rally Finland in their Peugeot 205.
They are one of four Scottish crews who will enjoy the pre-event recce and a test before following the international stage through four of Saturday’s stages.
Scott, who is a John Horton Star Driver Award nominee on this year’s KNC Groundworks Scottish Rally Championship, said: “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, we’ve got the chance so we’ll take it,” Scott said.
“I’m a bit apprehensive about the jumps; it’s not the taking off it’s the landing for the 205. They’re notoriously bad for jumps but I don’t think we’ll be going hard enough to bother any of them to be honest, we’ll not get the speed up.
“It’s just a bit of craic and get round, it’s a long way to go to retire. Dad and I are running second on the road; there’s us four from Scotland and then there’s an Australian crew doing it.
"The Australians are first and then us four are running altogether next in reverse seeding.”
