NEWS@RALLYSPORTMAG.COM.AU NEWS@RALLYSPORTMAG.COM.AU RALLY ROUND-UP No Circuit of Ireland in 2017 Ireland’s more prestigious rally, the European championship Circuit of Ireland, is not to be held in 2017, as announced by the Event Director, Bobby Willis. The decision is due to funding uncertainty. Willis has managed the Circuit since 2009. “We have been working hard with all our funders to plan ahead for 2017, but regrettably the financial resources required to deliver the event are still not in place,” Willis said. “To run the rally next year Proudly announcing the Southern Cross Gold Anniversary Rally November 8 to 19, 2016 Re-trace the 1966 route through Victoria and then via Canberra to Sydney to enjoy the classic roads of the later Southern Cross Rallies around Port Macquarie. The rally finishes in Coffs Harbour where you’ll join the field of WRC cars competing in the final round of the 2016 World Rally Championship and compete on some of the WRC route.. Another Classic HRA re-run www.hra.org.au in the current format without the right resources and necessary planning period would be to do the rally a gross disservice. “I believe we cannot risk proceeding with the 2017 event at this point without financial certainty.” While other options for a small, local rally may be considered for next year, Willis’ plan is to work to secure the necessary resources and plan for the Circuit of Ireland Rally to return in 2018. - MARTIN HOLMES Daily competitive sections including: • Closed road stages • Hillclimbs • Timed track sections Each day finishes in time to enjoy a meal and lots of socialising!
