Hunt begins to find new date for snowed off Easter Rally

There is no indication when, or even if, the Ulster Automobile Club can reschedule the Easter Rally that was set to take place tomorrow but was cancelled due to the weather.

The rally was meant to count as the second round of the Irish Tarmac Championship but finding a suitable date may prove difficult given the massive number of motorsport events either side of the border. The other rounds are scheduled for May (Rally of the Lakes), June (Donegal), August (Ulster) and October (Cork 20) and there is little room for manoeuvre.

At first glance, a July date could provide the best option, however other issues will have to be factored into the equation. Should the UAC fail to find a date, the ITC will be decided on the best four from five events. The cancellation has already cost the organisers a five-figure sum.
