In association with SJ Motorsport another massive incentive has been put on the table:
All finishing navigators for this year's Clare Stages Rally will be put into a draw and one winner will get an all expenses paid trip to a round of the Flanders Rally Championship in 2018 in Belgium to navigate for Anthony O'Brien in his Mitsubishi Evo X.
This is another fantastic prize and Clare Stages Rally 2017 has to be offering the most incentives in any Tarmac Rally event in Ireland in history.
Clare Motorclub would like to take this opportunity to thank SJ Motorsport and all our great sponsors who have made all this happen for 2017.
