Cavan Motor Club Celebrates 40 Years In Motorsport - (Sat) 4 Dec 04 Posted: December 1, 2004 1:41 PM

Thanks to Gerry Buckley
The 60’s are guilty of introducing the world to many things, but Motorsport in it’s present format is just one of the fonder memories we have from that period. In terms of rallying, and other necessary items, it will always be known as the “Mini” era. The achievements of the BMC Competitions department in the early sixties with John Cooper’s incarnation of Alec Issigonis’s iconic creation live to this day, and from a purely Irish perspective the “David and Goliath” acts of Paddy Hopkirk in his Cooper S, which gave him victory in the most famous rally in the world – the Monte Carlo rally in 1964, inspired a lot of motorsport enthusiasts to pool their interests here at home and form Motor Clubs across the Country.
