Déjà vu for Johnny and John O’Sullivan

A Killarney father and son team have entered this weekend’s Déjà Vu Northwest in Sligo.

The celebration of the history of Irish Motorsport organised by RPM Motorsport and Connacht Motor Club raised funds for various charities.
Déjà Vu started in Killarney in 2017 and has visited various centres of Irish rallying including Tralee at various stages every year since.
The rally re-union recreates the glory days of Group B rallying in the 1980s by bringing together an immensely valuable collection of cars and some of the internationally renowned drivers.
Father and son team Johnny and John O’Sullivan of The Tyre Shop at O’Sullivan Tyres on Mallow Road have entered the event in their Mazda rx-8 sports car. They are regulars on the event having previously contested the Tralee and Cork editions of the event.
“On Saturday morning, flagged off from the Retail Park at 9.30 the array of unique and collectable cars will depart to drive the chosen scenic route, taking in Sligo, North Leitrim and south Donegal headed for mid-day refreshment stop at Frosses in Donegal. Resuming the route, cars will then head back towards Sligo, taking in some classic, what would have been stages of the past, in the north of the county,” said an event organiser.
“The grand finale will be as they park up in the centre of O’ Connell St for the public to view at 4pm, and with a series of interviews of personalities taking place. Ocean FM will also be present to broadcast live from the centre of the action and get a flavour of the atmosphere. The social element of the weekend will take place on Saturday night when a fully sold-out Gala Dinner takes place in Sligo Park Hotel.”
Proceeds from the event are going to Rallying Friends, a fund to support the families of Gene Mc Donald and Daire Maguire who sadly lost their lives on an accident on the Sligo Rally 2023.
