BBC ALBA Races Off With Rally Drivers

This Autumn, highly successful rally driver, Calum Iain Mackenzie, joins the team of Scotland's very own car series, Air an Rathad (On the Road) as it comes back to our screens on BBC ALBA.
Originally from Uig on Lewis, Calum Iain now hails from Inveruie. Keen-eyed viewers from Series One will recognise him as the show's resident mechanic. This year, however, he steps up to the mark as a presenter, interviewing his heroes at Goodwood, reviewing the latest cars, auto-testing and even racing a cartie down Cairngorm.
Commenting on his role in the new eight-part series Calum Iain said: "The highlight was definitely meeting Kris Meeke, current IRC (International Rally Challenge) winner, who is a real hero of mine. The low was flipping my own car during Rally Hebrides, not the finish I was after."
Calum Iain Mackenzie joins regular presenters Fiona Mackenzie, Murray Macleod and Louise Maclean in an action-packed new series, starting on November 4 at 10pm on BBC ALBA.
Air an Rathad is produced by Eyeline Media for BBC Alba.
