1.4 - Event History<br />
The Northern Ireland Motor Club and the <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Rally</strong> both have a long and distinguished history.<br />
Formed more than 30 years ago, the Northern Ireland Motor Club (NIMC) continues to<br />
successfully organise and promote the <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Rally</strong> as we know it today.<br />
The first seeds were sown more than 80 years ago, when the Parliament of Northern Ireland<br />
passed the Northern Ireland Road Races Act, which allowed public roads to be closed for motor<br />
racing. The Act allowed for ten roadclosing<br />
orders to be issued annually,<br />
eight of which were granted to the motorcycle<br />
fraternity, while two were issued<br />
to car sport. This same ratio applies today.<br />
That marked the beginning of closed<br />
road rallying in Northern Ireland, and<br />
although nobody realised at the time, it<br />
was the first in a series of circumstances<br />
that led towards the inaugural <strong>Ulster</strong><br />
<strong>Rally</strong> in 1976.<br />
