Insurance issues force suspension of Cork event

A qualifying round of the Motorsport Ireland National Navigation Trial Championship was suspended over the weekend due to the withdrawal of IRDS insurance cover. The move was initiated on Friday afternoon when organisers of the Cork 1000 Shakes Navigation Trial that was scheduled to go ahead on Saturday night, were instructed by Motorsport Ireland not to go ahead with the event.

The decision followed an incident at the Monaghan Navigation Trial the previous weekend where a competing crew were involved in an accident with a non-competing vehicle.
