Lakes format right for World Rally Championship

The Rally of the Lakes format is ideally suited for inclusion in the World Rally Championship according to John Brown, one of the world's best known professional rally organisers.

Brown, twice winner of the Circuit of Ireland Rally with Russell Brookes and winner of dozens of International rallies in a career that spanned almost 30 years of competing at the top level, was speaking at the launch of the 2003 Ordnance Survey Ireland Rally of the Lakes in the Conrad Hotel Dublin this week.
