Kenny relishes busy weekend

Through five decades, Kenny McKinstry has been involved in Irish rallying, initially as a competitor but more recently in the hire and preparation of Subaru WRCs.

Occasionally, he dovetails both roles and on Sunday the popular Banbridge driver competes in Triton Showers ALMC Rally. The rally, based at Dunboyne Castle Hotel, is a counting round of the Get Connected REIS UK Asphalt Rally Championship that accounts for a high representation of overseas drivers.

Since McKinstry acquired an S14 Subaru WRC, the car has won on all four occasions it has been hired out — his only outing in a major event was the Circuit of Kerry, where he was second.
