Rallycross Irish Rallycross Championship (IRX) 2016 The Irish Rallycross Championship (IRX) is just about ready to kick off its 2016 season in Mondello Park on Sunday the 6th of March. It has been a very positive start to the National Championship with the numbers entered so far nearing the 70 mark, the highest it’s been for a number of years except for the joint British round last year. Along with the surge in entries the Irish Rallycross Committee were given a second reason to celebrate as they secured a new sponsorship deal with the Dublin based company “Parts for Cars”. Derek Tohill takes flight on a full programme of events in the FIA European Rallycross Championship & IRX 2016, driving an Olsbergs MSE built Ford Fiesta Supercar. Derek Tohill from Parts for Cars, commented on the new sponsorship deal “We have had a long association with the Irish Rallycross Championship (IRX) and we are delighted to be back again as title sponsors to the Championship”. The Parts for Cars Irish Rallycross Championship will be a 7 round championship this year to be run over 3 different circuits, Mondello Park, Tynagh and Pembrey. It’s the first time ever that 3 different circuits will be used and first time in 5 years that a round will be held overseas with a double header scheduled for Pembrey in July (Chamionship dates below). The boost in numbers this year is largely down to the addition of a new budget class for 1.25 Zetec Fiestas which was introduced late last year. 16 Fiestas are entered for Round 1, it looks like a lot of them have come back for another go at rallycross in Mondello Park.

Galway 23rd October Mondello Park 27th November Mondello Park All the regular drivers are back again this year to compete for class honours. Notably, Brendan Coyne, brother to the current Champion Willie Coyne, will return to action this year after a few years out which is great to see. The Tallaght man will be back in his super quick 1600cc Super Modified Fiesta competing in Class 4. Peter Mc Garry will make the move up to super modified in his very exciting super charged 205 GTI. Peter ran this car a few times last year and really impressed, he should be on the pace for the new season and will be definitely be one to watch. In the Super Class, Derek Tohill has entered his 600BHP Olsbergs 4x4 Fiesta for round 1. The Parts for Cars backed driver will be competing in the full European Rallycross Championship this year and March 6th in Mondello Park will give him the opportunity to put this beast of a car through its paces and get some valuable seat time ahead of the European season opener in April.
