NEW VOICE FOR IRISH RALLY COMPETITORS

Posted: May 27, 2011 3:05 PM

Official recognition has been sought from Motorsport Ireland for a new competitors group that hope to be the voice of rally competitors in Ireland. A number of competitors concerned with the lack of representation have come together to form the “Society of Irish Rally Competitors”.

Over 2500 licences were issued in 2010 to rally competitors in Ireland. The group plans to create a democratically elected group to represent these licence holders. They plan to invite people from all over Ireland from all disciplines of rallying to get involved in the setting up and running of the new group.

Joe Hunter one of the founders said
“The application has been sent to the MSI Rallies Committee for approval and the rallies committee is chaired by a fellow competitor, organiser and sponsor along with other competitors and former competitors who hopefully should see the benefit of having a very active and proactive competitors group that it can work hand in hand with on issues that affect motorsport in Ireland.”

The group’s main aims are:

• Promotion of the sport
• Promotion of Fair Play in the sport
• Development of the sport
• Development of an event safety programme
• Lobbying issues on behalf of the competitors

The group have been developing these aims over the past few months and are hopeful of a favourable outcome to the Rallies Committees decision so that the competitors can once again be reassured of proper representation.
