Press Release #1
BEGINS
NEW COMPETITOR
FRIENDLY FORMAT FOR CORK FOREST RALLY.
The 2008 Jim
Walsh Cork Forest Rally is to run under a new format in 2008 which is aimed at
making the event more practical and certainly more fun for all
involved.
The major change is that instead
of the 2 day format which has been run over the last few years the event will
now consist of one LONG days rallying on the Saturday with prizegiving leading
on to a nights entertainment of music and dance,and all day Sunday to make the
journey home thus making the whole weekend an enjoyable and social
occasion,(once the serious business of Rallying on the Saturday is complete of
course).
Tadhg O Conaill Heating &
Plumbing of Ballyvourney,Co,Cork are once again the Title sponsors of the
rally.
The rally route will consist
of approx 100 kms of competitive stages(including two runs over a
21.7 km stage) on the traditional North Cork forest stages that have made the
Cork Forest Rally one of the most popular in these Islands,there will be approx 230 road kms. First car will leave
Parc Ferme at 08.30 on Saturday 16th of August and return to the final control
at 19.00,with prizegiving and entertainment starting at 10.00pm so that everyone
will have time to get on the dancing shoes. Drivers briefing will be held at
10.00pm on Friday night,immediately after documentation,to allow for the early
start on Saturday morning.
Speaking on the format change
C.O.C. Darren Mc Carthy said “We are constantly looking for ways to make our
events more competitor friendly and we feel the one long day format running on
the Saturday is the way to go. If the rally were in the two day format scrutiny
and documentation would be on the Friday anyway so there’s nothing different
there.The big difference is the fact that once the days rallying is over
everybody will have time to enjoy the prizegiving and entertainment that’s being
laid on without having to worry about getting back up the road and into work on
Monday morning,so all in all it should lead to a much more relaxed and enjoyable
atmosphere for the weekend.It also reduces the entry fee without losing too much
stage mileage,and in these financially challenging times that can only be a good
thing.”
The Rally hosts round 7 of the Hankook
Tyres National Forest Rally Championship,The Rory Galligan Irish 205
Challenge,the National Junior Rally Championship and the Cork Motor Club Members
Championship.
Rally
Headquarters will be the Commons Inn Hotel,New Mallow
Road,Cork.
