Ever since its inception, overseas competitors have a strong association with the West Cork Rally, in particular Welsh crews. 

The Clonakilty-based event still retains its most essential ingredients - quality stages and a community that embraces the event with warmth and enthusiasm. This weekend, the Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally, now a vital cog within the wheel of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship, promises a thrilling encounter where tenths of a second could prove all-important in this second round of the campaign.
