Seaman’s class-winning season finish
Bandon rally co-driver Daniel Seaman wrapped up his 2026 motorsport season on a high by securing a class victory at the Garda Síochána Motor Club Baltinglass Rally on Sunday.
The MTU student was drafted in at the last minute to navigate for Navan driver Ryan Caldwell in a Peugeot 208 R2.
The newly formed duo delivered a dominant performance over the six-stage event in County Wicklow, leading from start to finish and taking class victory by a margin of two minutes and 48 seconds.
Two consecutive podium finishes, including second place at the Stonethrowers Rally in Tipperary last month, mark a successful conclusion to Seaman’s 2026 campaign and lay a solid foundation for a breakthrough 2027 season.
Seaman said:
“Jumping into the car with Ryan at short notice and establishing that kind of pace straight away made for a great weekend in Wicklow. Ending the season with consecutive podium finishes in Tipperary and Baltinglass is a fantastic feeling.”
While Wicklow was his final competitive outing of the year, Seaman will remain active over the coming weeks working behind the scenes with a high-profile team at the upcoming Killarney Towers Hotel Killarney Historic Rally.
