Motorsport enthusiasts have got up close to a grid of rally cars on Elgin High Street ahead of the Speyside Stages rally.
The gleaming vehicles were lined up on the Plaintsones in stunning sunshine ahead of the two-day event.
Interested spectators examined the modifications done to the vehicles to help them road through the Moray and Aberdeenshire forests.
As well as giving fans a chance to get close to the cars, the line-up was part of the official scrutineering ahead of the rally.
