Clubs urged to follow Killarney lead as Europeans welcomed
Indeed, Dermot Healy, clerk of the course of the two-day event that is estimated to be worth well in excess of €10 million to the region, is encouraging other Irish motor clubs to follow their lead as it is an area that offers huge potential.
The Killarney event has always been one of the leading lights in attracting European drivers. In the past, Belgian pair Dominique Bruyneel (BMW) and Paul Lietar (Sunbeam) thrilled the fans on their visits to Killarney, while few will ever forget the Bolshik brothers from Russia, who competed in 1991.
