The Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston was the setting for the first event of the 2017 Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge – the first outing since Anglesey in November 2016 . Eleven young drivers – all aged 15 to 16 – gathered with their 1000cc rally cars to see who would be in contention to be 2017 Champion. Dunfermline Car Club were the organisers of the 8 stage, 25 mile Blackwood Plant Hire sponsored DCC Junior Stages. This would be the first time back at Ingliston for the Juniors since 2013 and the Junior only Sunday event – which took the same effort to run as the 80 car Senior event on the day before – was a really welcome and appreciated addition to the Championship calendar.
