Budding racing drivers from across the north-east raised more than £20,000 at the weekend to help children living cancer.
A total of 40 car enthusiasts took part in a charity rally, racing off-road for more than 12 hours at the Aberdeen Rally Centre.
The fundraiser, in aid of children’s cancer charity Clic Sargent, challenged 10 teams of four drivers to tear around the track in as many times as possible between 8am and 8pm.
The teams completed the sponsored challenge in Subarus branded with the Clic Sargent logo.
Motoring fans from all across the north-east took part in the event, and were shown the tricks of the trade by professional rally car driver Quintin Milne.
Holly Taylor, north-east Scotland fundraising manager for CLIC Sargent said it had been a huge success.
She said: “We were thinking of a different kind of way to do a fundraiser, and a charity off-road rally seemed extremely different to the usual stuff you see fundraising-wise, and it definitely proved popular.
“They were all ripping around the track incredibly fast, it was all a bit scary so I was more happy to stay at the sidelines.
“We had teams from all walks of life, one team was made of folk from BP, another team was made up of social workers, there was loads of different people.”
The cash raised will go towards helping Clic Sargent provide clinical, practical and emotional support for young cancer patients and their families across the UK.
The event was sponsored by Dyce-based offshore firm RigDeluge – and the firm has announced it will be backing an extra fundraiser for the charity on Friday.
Owner Ian Gardner said: “All the drivers were recorded on video on the day, so we’re going to have a meal at the Marcliffe on Friday to show the footage and hand out awards for scariest drive, slowest racer and so on.
“It’ll be £35 a head to come to the evening, so I’m going to double that up and give Clic Sargent an extra £35 for every person that comes.
“We set a target of £35,000 to raise in total, but whatever we’re short of for that target I’ll put in.
“It was an ace day for everyone, and I so hope that we can help to make a difference.”
