Cronin begins quest for record equalling third British Rally Championship

Three years ago Cork driver Keith Cronin set a target to win the British Rally Championship.

It could have been ambitious or perhaps modest, the former based on financial resources, the latter on acknowledgement of his talent.

This evening in Scarborough, on the International Rally of Yorkshire, the Ballylickey driver will begin his quest to land a record equalling third title. Cronin bridged a 35-year gap when he became only the second ever Irish driver to win the BRC, following Billy Coleman, who triumphed in 1974.
