Scotland 5 is the fifth level of the Scotland track featuring the rally car. It revisits the rainy setting and introduces a significant obstacle midway through the race, replacing the bridges with ramps to cross the rivers.
The barriers around the pond have also been removed, making it possible for cars to fall Out into the water. Rally cars now have higher top speeds, reaching up to 137 mph.

Race[]
Scotland 5 features a dramatically transformed track compared to Scotland 4, enveloped in turbulent conditions and open Out Zones at three locations. The rally cars now have heightened top speeds, creating a tricky situation for the player maneuvering through the track's wet setting. Given the turbulent weather, it's imperative not to push too aggressively around tight corners. Slowing down prior to leaping off the ramps is recommended.
The player is likely to pursue frontrunner AI Roberts for a substantial stretch of the race. AI Ahmed also remains a top contender, while Rossi's performance has declined, making him a more cautious driver. Moreover, previously weaker AI from Scotland 4 have significantly improved their driving, particularly in the cases of Xu and Ivanov. Among the less proficient AI, such as Morgen, casualties are frequent at the ramps and the pond stretch.
In cases where securing victory proves to be too difficult, an alternative strategy involves using the lethal ramps to eliminate opponents from the race. This tactic might entail the player deliberately staying behind during Lap 1, positioning their car before a ramp, and targeting oncoming opponents who are one or two laps ahead. By doing so, these opponents may fail to clear the ramp, resulting in their vehicles plummeting into the river and being knocked Out of contention.
AI Speed Table[]
Below are the AI speeds in the Grand Tour Racing '98 version; speeds may differ in Total Drivin or other versions. The table represents the AI's straight-line speeds and does not account for individualized behaviors or specific car mechanics, such as driving accuracy, turning speed, and acceleration. Note that speeds listed as "Max" might vary depending on the vehicle; for example, Ahmed's top speed is 137 mph.
