HANKOOK TYRES BACK DENIS CRONIN IN FOREST
Cronin Motor Sport have agreed a sponsorship deal with Hankook Tyres that will see the National Forest Rally Championship title sponsors back the Subaru Impreza WRC of Denis Cronin/Helen O Sullivan on their return to forest rally action.
This is a very positive development for the team as it marks a continuation of the deal which helped Billy Coleman Award winner Keith Cronin to win Gp N in the Championship last year in an EVO 7 and finish second overall to the Focus WRC of Stephen Moore.
It was announced earlier by the team that Keith and Navigator Anthony O Conaill would contest the UK EVO challenge in a brand new EVO 9 which is almost completed and should be ready for testing shortly.
