Alex Sinclair voices concern over rallysprints

Despite the increasing popularity of rallysprints organised throughout the country by the Rallysport Association, the chief executive of Motorsport Ireland, Alex Sinclair, admitted they have no plans to counteract a development which is causing concern amongst MI affiliated clubs.

Events organised by the RSA are attracting almost treble that of similar events organised by MI clubs.

Sinclair said: “I’m concerned at the risk, I believe that these cars would not meet our (MI) standards or at least the cars that are being allowed participate. I don’t believe that the personal safety equipment of the competitors is to our standards either. That’s my only concern.”
