Former Irish Tarmac champion Keith Cronin, who was the first driver to pilot an R5 car to win the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship (2016) and who also has four British Rally Championship titles under his belt, is making a welcome return to the seven-round ITRC series that begins with the Corrib Oil Galway International Rally at the beginning of February.

At the launch of the rally in Galway over the weekend, it was announced that one of his great rivals Welsh ace Matt Edwards will also contest the two-day event on February 3rd/4th next.
