Full Steam Ahead for Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally!
Posted: November 16, 2021 5:54 AM
The Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally is now less than two weeks away and it is all systems go for the iconic event.
It is a special year for the rally, celebrating 25 years since the first event in 1996.
There will be a start ramp in Killarney Town Centre on Friday night, November 26th which is sure to create a festival like atmosphere with Radio Kerry DJ Ivan Hurley providing the entertainment before spectators get the chance to see the crews and cars up close.
We are delighted to announce, with huge thanks to Killarney MD and Kerry County Council that the annual switch on of the town's beautiful Christmas lights has been brought forward 24 hours to coincide with the ceremonial start of the rally. This will ensure that the town is looking its very best on the highlight television show which will be broadcast after the event.
The rally gets underway on Saturday, with 3 classic stages Molls Gap, Ballaghbeama and Caragh Lake. The crews will return to service before another loop of the tricky stages.
Cars will return to The Gleneagle Hotel on Saturday afternoon where spectators can witness the champagne celebrations up close.
The rally has attracted a record entry with over 200 entries received meaning a reserve list of over 50 cars. Some highlights on the entry list are World Rally stars Craig Breen and his Killarney co-driver Paul Nagle who will drive a BMW M3. Also in a BMW will be Donegal’s Donagh Kelly, a regular at the top of the standings in the Irish Tarmac Championship. Local front runners Rob Duggan and Colin O Donoghue should provide an unmissable battle for the local bragging rights.
The event is once again proudly sponsored by Rentokil Initial, Ireland's Pest experts and the associate sponsor is The Gleneagle Hotel. The committee are very thankful to MD of Rentokil Initial Michael O Mahoney, who is known as Mr Motorsport in the Kerry area, for his continued support in what has been a difficult period for all businesses.
A few members of the organising committee met for a promotional photograph which showcases the wonderful backdrop of Killarney's lakes and mountains
So, pack your bags and count down the days as rallying makes its long awaited return to Killarney!

Killarney and District Motor Club have announced details of the upcoming 2021 Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally
The rally will take place on Saturday, November 27th under full Covid 19 guidelines in line with Government and Sport Ireland advice.
It will be almost two years to the date since we have seen a Killarney based event and everyone in the club looks forward to welcoming you all to the Kingdom in late November.
2018 Clerk of the Course Martin Farrell will once again take the lead role for the 2021 edition of the famous event. 2018 and 2019 were the most successful years for the rally with a high quality, full entry list, including 35 reserve cars, meaning the Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally was the best one day event in the country.
It has been a difficult and challenging 2 years for everybody and we are delighted to welcome back Rentokil Initial as title sponsors for the one day event, with huge thanks to Mr Motorsport in Kerry Michael O Mahoney. Huge credit is due to our sponsors as without them the rally could not take place. We understand how challenging the last 2 years have been on businesses and it proves how committed Rentokil Initial are to motorsport in Kerry.
Rally HQ will once again be title sponsors The Gleneagle Hotel and they will be offering special accommodation bundles for the event.
The rally will be a counting round towards the 2022 Irish Tarmac Rally Championship and the Southern 4 Championship
Entries will open in the coming weeks and we hope for a full entry list for this showpiece event.
