Donnelly back for Galway Rally

FIVE times Irish Tarmac rally champion, Eugene Donnelly will make a dramatic return to the series behind the wheel of a Derek McGeehan run MINI WRC in next Month’s Safety Direct Galway International Rally.

Last October, Donnelly came out of retirement and drove a Toyota Corolla to second place of the Westlodge Hotel Fastnet Rally in Bantry.

Having lost some 75 seconds on the opening stage with a puncture, Donnelly closed the deficit to a mere six seconds at the finish.
