Pirelli to sponsor Irish series

THE start of the Irish Tarmac Championship looms — beginning with the Galway International Rally — and Pirelli Tyres are the series sponsor.

Pirelli Marketing Director, Wayne Nickolas, said: "Pirelli is demonstrating its continued commitment to the development of rallying in Ireland from the grassroots through to the very highest echelons.

We are thrilled to have clinched the sponsorship of the premier rally championships in the UK and Ireland with the Pirelli British Rally Championship and the Pirelli Irish Tarmac Championship."
