Kelly the man to catch on historic weekend in Clon

History will be made this weekend as the Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally becomes the first event under the jurisdiction of Motorsport Ireland to be part of the British Rally Championship.

The fusion of the BRC and the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship on the 15-stage rally has resulted in one of the best entries of recent times. In addition, the presence of former four times WRC star Mikko Hirvonen, who will compete in a left-hand drive Mk 2 Ford Escort, will also increase spectator levels in Clonakilty.
