This time last week – photo gallery from the start ramp of the Rentokil-Initial Killarney Historic Rally
Let us take a step back in time.
This day last week we were all preparing to for the ceremonial start of the Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally.
Craig Breen and Paul Nagle claimed a popular Killarney Historic Rally win in an iconic BMW M3. The World Rally Championship crew and Irish Tarmac Championship winning duo was untouchable at the head of the Historic field while local men Rob Duggan and Ger Conway claimed an equally popular Modified category win.
It all started on Friday evening and thanks to well-known Killarney photographer Eamonn Keogh, Kerry Motorsport News can bring to you his best images of the start ramp celebration.
