Rally to unite Irish and British events

TOMORROW'S Edinburgh-based Jim Clark Memorial Rally unites the Toshiba Computers Irish Tarmac and the Pirelli British Rally Championships for the first of three occasions this season.

Elsewhere, the Dunlop National Championship continues in Sligo on Sunday and the Safari Rally is the latest encounter in the World Rally Championship.

The clash of the Tarmac and National rounds on the same weekend is unfortunate, it’s the second time in less than a month where two high-profile events are on the same weekend, begging the question, who is planning Irish Motorsport?
