Rally the first event on former dump site

RALLY cars will reach speeds of up to 140kmph on a former dump later this month.

Up to 5,000 spectators are expected to attend the 2010 Cork City Rallysprint on the city’s former Kinsale Road landfill site on May 30 – the first public event on the amenity site.

It is being held in memory of motorsport fan and Cork Motor Club member Darren Swanton, from Grange, who died from cancer last year, aged just 30.
