Top-level rallying is returning to Killarney Racecourse for the first time in over 20 years with a new demonstration-style event on Saturday, September 27.
The one-day event will celebrate some of the most famous cars in rallying history – from the wild Group B machines of the 1980s to the legendary Group A and early World Rally Cars that defined the 1990s and 2000s.
Organised by Killarney and District Motor Club under its KDMC2 arm, Rally Masters Ireland is co-organised and co-promoted by Motorsport Ireland.
It’s been 21 years since Killarney Racecourse last hosted a spectator stage for the Rally of the Lakes, and 20 years since Colin McRae drove his famous Ford Escort Mk2 as course car for the same event in 2005.
Both milestones will be marked during this new event while raising funds for the Jack and Jill Foundation and Laura Lynn children’s charities.
Fans can expect to see Audi Quattros, MG Metro 6R4s, Nissan 240 RS, Opel Mantas, Peugeot 205 T16s and Ford RS200s from the Group B era.
From the Group A years there’ll be BMW M3s, Subaru Legacys, Subaru Imprezas Ford Escort Cosworths and Focus WRC cars – all in one place, up close.
Some big-name drivers are expected to appear, many reuniting with the cars they made famous.
More details, including the entry list and ticket info, will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
