Pearson will compete in the Grampian Forest Rally this weekend, going up against some of the biggest names in international rallying as the Scottish event attracts growing global attention. Pearson, who drives for M-Sport, is contesting both the British Rally Championship and the Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship in 2026, and the Grampian is the first event where he can score points in both series. Co-driven by Hannah McKillop, Pearson arrives at the rally as joint leader of the Scottish championship after four consecutive wins. He currently sits fourth in the British Rally Championship following a podium finish in Wales. Pearson said: "We've been on an amazing run of form in the Asset Alliance Group Scottish Rally Championship this year, giving us a chance of winning the championship for the second time this weekend.
