Greg McKnight and Laura Marshall certainly made an impression upon the ARR Craib MSA Scottish Rally Championship (SRC) on round two of the 2017 series, the Brick & Steel Border Counties Rally.

The Brick & Steel Border Counties Rally played host to round two of the 2017 ARR Craib MSA Scottish Rally Championship (SRC), attracting a strong entry list of over 80 cars.
