Around 100 drivers were expected to compete over the weekend. Supt Vincent Fisher said: "Our thoughts are with the family of the man who has died and inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances." The Jim Clark Rally was first held in 1970 and is named after the Formula One champion Jim Clark, who grew up in the Scottish Borders. It is part of the Probite British Rally Championship, Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship and Protyre National Asphalt Championship. In 2014, three spectators were killed and six more were injured during the event when two cars lost control and veered into a viewing area. A fatal accident inquiry found that the deaths could have been prevented if people had been clearly banned from standing in the area where the crash happened. The event then returned in 2019 after "rigorous steps" were taken to ensure safety.
