Belgian rallying legend Paul Lietear is set to return to the Killarney Historic Rally for the first time since 2019.
The Belgian motorsport legend last competed in Killarney in 2019 when he finished 14th in an Opel Manta 400.
In June he drove an Opel Ascona 400 to victory in the historic section of the Ypres Rally.
Speaking exclusively to Kerry Motorsport News in Ypres at the time Lietear confirmed he is planning on returning to Kerry this year.
“We want to go,” he said.
That is now confirmed and he will start at number 20 in the same Ascona 400 he drove in Kerry four years ago.
He contested last weekend’s Kortrijk Rally in Belgium where the car suffered engine problems but he has since confirmed that it is repaired and will be in Killarney this week.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
