Reducing number of events a priority for governing body

IT seems there is no room for manoeuvre in the Irish Motorsport calendar that cannot accommodate the re-scheduling of its more high profile events.

Motorsport Ireland president, Joe Corcoran is in no doubt that there are far too many events. Although the 2011 calendar is again packed with events from all spectrums of the sport, it is anticipated that the 2012 season will be better aligned and have some degree of latitude in terms of re-scheduling of events.

The cancellation of the Kenmare Historic Rally earlier this month highlights the plight of the governing body. The Killarney and District Motor Club subsequently re-applied to host the event on January 22, but, following objections, the event will not take place.
