Irish Tarmac Rally ChampionshipAs a result of ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, TROA has decided not to run the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship in 2021.
Organisers remain focused on bringing the series back to its former glory as soon as circumstances allow.
Jimmy McRae and his Vauxhall Chevette HSR were a dominant force in 1980 having already claimed victories on the Galway International Rally, the Circuit of Ireland Rally and the Donegal International Rally before the Scottish driver ventured to Cork in early October with co-driver Frank Main. Local opposition was strong but gradually fell away, allowing McRae to cruise to a commending victory over the closing stages including a spectator stage on St. Patrick’s Street in Cork city centre.
Next week’s upload will feature coverage from the 1990 Ulster Rally where the British and Irish Championships went head to head for the second time that year.
