2022 Championship
On the same occasion, awards for this year’s title race will also be handed out.
It is no ordinary championship, members of both Killarney and District Motor Club and Kerry Motor Club vie for coveted county championship medals. It is the only championship of its kind in Ireland.
Only open to members of the two local clubs, participants must have a Kerry address. Points are awarded based on class finishing places across Kerry-based rallies meaning any driver or co-driver from any class is in with a shout.
This year’s rounds are, the Killarney Forestry Rally, each day of the Rally of the Lakes, the Kerry Winter Rally and The Killarney Historic Rally.
