Garry Jennings likely to set pace in star Galway line-up

Following a winter of uncertainty, Irish rallying springs into action tomorrow with the Corrib Oil Galway International Rally, the opening round of the Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Championship.

Its two-tier system continues with those in World Cars only eligible to win individual events while the R5 remains the championship choice.

Last year’s Galway winner Garry Jennings (Subaru WRC) is again likely to set the pace. However, the Fermanagh man will face a strong challenge from Declan Boyle, especially as the Donegal driver now seems to have his Ford Fiesta WRC well sorted for the Irish terrain.
