Belfast’s Jonny Greer brings his Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4 to Killarney in search of a straight hat-trick of wins in tomorrow’s (Saturday) Killarney Towers backed Killarney Historic Rally that is expected to attract hordes of spectators due to the presence of last year’s World rally champion Kalle Rovanpera. The “Flying Finn” will pilot the Jason Black rear wheel, right hand drive Toyota Starlet.

However, the main focus is on the Historic category that has more than doubled its entry since its inception in 1996. Evolution of the category has seen models like the BMW M3, Sierra Cosworth and Subaru Legacy join and beat the Ford Escort marque as history repeats itself in a Déjà vu of sorts.
