Motorsport: Ryan Barrett set to make a mark in Killarney

The name Ryan Barrett may not be that familiar to rally fans around southern parts. However, all is set to change as the Omagh driver heads a strong entry for tomorrow’s Rentokil-Initial Killarney Historic Rally.

Barrett has won the Historic Isle of Man Rally and is rated highly. That will negate his lack of knowledge of the classic stages like Moll’s Gap and Gortnagane.

The Killarney Historic event, with a ceremonial start in the town at 7.30pm this evening, has attracted quality and quantity although the vast numbers in the Modified section is a concern given the true nature of the event.
