Theo Hunt and James Galliver have been crowned winners of the 2026 Flying Scotsman, securing victory in their Frazer Nash TT Replica after a dramatic final day of competition. Starting with a narrow 23-second lead, the pair chose to keep pushing across nine decisive sections, ultimately sealing a long-awaited win on their seventh attempt. Having come close on multiple occasions—including a heartbreaking retirement near the finish in 2024—the result marks a hugely popular and hard-earned triumph.


The rally featured a spectacular Scotland-only route, covering 600 miles with 16 regularities and 10 tests, beginning and ending at Gleneagles. Competition remained fierce throughout, with Mike Dreelan and Miles Fieldhouse impressing on their debut to take second place in the Alvis 25, while Simon Arscott and Emily Anderson secured third in the Aston Martin Speed Model. With seven different marques represented in the top ten and conditions favouring close, competitive rallying, the 2026 edition proved a standout year—combining strong performances, mechanical reliability, and thrilling head-to-head battles across the field.
