BBC ALBA - Trusadh, Series 3, Ralaidh Chaluim/Calum's Rally

Rally Driving is a fast and dangerous, but for Calum George Buchanan it's in his blood.

Rally Driving is a fast and dangerous sport, but for Calum George Buchanan from the Western Isles, it's in his blood.

Gach bliadhna bho mheadhan a' Ghearrain, gun Dàmhair, tha coilltean sìtheil na h-Alba air an crathadh le fuaim chàraichean ralaidh, 's iad a' dol aig peilear am beatha tron àrainneachd àlainn seo. Dràibheadh ralaidh - spòrs, luath, chunnartach, ach le tarraing a tha dha-rìribh ga do ghlagadh, 's mòran ga leantainn. 

Tha e san fhuil aig Calum George Bochanan, dràibhear às na h-eileanan an Iar, agus thar sia bliadhna deug tha e air an ìre as àirde dhen spòrs a ruighinn na chlas fhèin. 

Leanaidh sinn e tron iomairt aige, 's e a' siubhal fad is farsaing tron dùthaich, 's dèanamh a dhìcheall aon uair eile. As dèidh dha an clas aige a bhuannachadh an-uiridh chan eil teagamh ann nach eil dùbhlan roimhe. Ach chan eil an rathad rèidh! Ged a tha Calum George a' fuireach agus ag obair ann an Leòdhas, tha a chàr stèidhichte ann an Cill Mheàrnaig, agus 's iomadh nì a dh'
fhaodas a dhol an aghaidh gach dràibheir air an t-slighe gu duais na bliadhna-sa!

Every year from the middle of February through to October, the peace of Scotland's tranquil forests is shattered by the roar of powerful rally cars as they tear through the forest tracks. Rally driving - a fast and dangerous sport, but also an exciting and addictive one, which is followed by many.

Calum George Buchanan, from the Western Isles, lives and breathes it - it's in his blood. In a career spanning 16 years he's reached the very top of the sport in his chosen class.

We follow him through the season, as he travels the length and breadth of the country to prove his mettle once again. Having won his class last year the stakes are high! As well as overcoming the challenge of living and working in Lewis, with his car based in Ayrshire, there are also plenty of thrills and spill along the way!
