One Junior driver is set to get their 2023 season off to a perfect start thanks to a scheme run by Killarney and District Motor Club.
The club is hosting its annual forestry rally in Castleisland this weekend.
Supported by local businesses Wharton Tool Hire and Castleisland Tyre Centre, the rally is being run to raise funds for the Irish Community Air Ambulance.
The rally is a counting round of the Motorsport Ireland Junior 1000 Rally Championship for 14 to 17-year-old drivers who can drive rally cars up to 1000cc on off-road events like a forestry rally.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.

The 17 crews will be the first to drive over the start ramp outside the River Island Hotel at around 630pm on Saturday evening.
Several drivers have submitted videos to the club promoting their pre-event preparations. These videos were then shared on the club’s social media accounts, giving both the driver and the event some valuable exposure.
Those who have submitted videos will be entered into a draw and the winner will receive a refund of their entry.
The second name out of the hat will receive 50 euros towards the cost of a set of pacenotes sponsored by Kerry Motorsport News.
It is still not too late to submit a video. They can be sent via WhatsApp to 087 257 4766.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
