The attendance of a legendary figure such as Biasion in a brand-new car never seen outside mainland Europe will add enormously to the appeal of the inaugural World Masters event. Biasion won the WRC Drivers title in 1988 and 1989 during the historic and unprecedented string of six successive victories for the Lancia Delta. He has maintained close contacts with the sport since then having competed in many events and now has given the benefits of his great experience to the Fiat Auto Racing team. This will be the Italian's first time to compete in Ireland. World Rally Masters, the brainchild of international rally co-driver Ronan Morgan, will see some of the biggest names in World Rallying come to Ireland for the first running of what is set to be one of the biggest motor sport spectacles ever seen in this country. In addition to Biasion and the Fiat Punto Super 1600 rally car, the event has attracted entries from current World Rally Championship stars Richard Burns driving a Subaru Impreza WRC2001 and Freddy Loix in a Mitsubishi Carisma GT. Running on the services track at Punchestown Racecourse, World Rally Masters gets under way at 10:30 with the first of six 4Km runs. Set to be an action packed day with entertainment for all the family, tickets to World Rally Masters will be available on the gate, which open at 9 o'clock, at £10 for Adults or £15 for a Family.
