Tarmac titan Coleman hailed

BILLY COLEMAN, arguably Ireland’s greatest rally driver, will be honoured this evening at the Motorsport International Show at the Simmonscourt Pavilion where a video entitled Tarmac Titans will be launched.

The three-day show has the Millstreet native as its centrepiece and several of the cars that saw Coleman win many of his titles will be on display.

Produced by Tyndall PR, the video contains footage of the Irish rally legend from his early days in a Mk1 Escort through to the Rothmans Porsche and Metro days. Coleman and a number of his former rivals and friends will take centre stage at 6.30pm this evening.
