Keith Cronin and Marty McCormack on collision course

Keith Cronin, the Irish Tarmac champion, will debut a Ford Fiesta R5 in the Carrick on Suir event as the Ballylickey man continues to try and close out a deal for the BRC, a series he has already won three times. The six stages in the south Tipperary forests will provide the perfect test as will the presence of Derry’s Marty McCormack, who debuts his Skoda Fabia R5 ahead of an assault on the BRC. The entry list also includes Billy Coleman award winner Josh Moffett (Ford Fiesta R5), who has set his sights on the European Rally Championship (ERC).
The entry also includes Tyrone’s Niall McCullagh (Subaru WRC), Cashel’s Pat O’Connell (Mitsubishi) and the Northern Ireland’s Adrian Hetherington (Toyota Corolla WRC), UK visitor Shaun Sinclair (Subaru WRC), Strabane’s Martin Cairns (Ford Fiesta WRC) and fellow Northern Ireland driver Darren McKelvey (Mitsubishi).
