The McGrady Insurance Stages Rally is once again ready to rock the beautiful black ribbon of tarmac situated outside Downpatrick, at the ever improving Bishopscourt Racing Circuit complex.
Organised by the ever enthusiastic members of the Ballynahinch and District Motor Club, the event hosts the second round of the Northern Ireland Rally Championship, and will see the cream of our rally drivers compete head to head on the challenging stages.
Club Chairman, Brian Crawford said:
"I really enjoy this rally. I'm involved with the organisation but I've also competed on it many times. Bishopscourt have made so many improvements over recent years, it looks different every time we're here."
"I have to thank club member Fintan McGrady from McGrady Insurance, for his continued sponsorship of our rally. Sponsors aren't easily found and his support really takes the financial pressure off the club."
The event is sponsored for an amazing tenth year by Downpatrick based, McGrady Insurance, and will also host a round of the 2015 Junior Rally Championship which sees some of the top young talent competing in 1000cc pocket rockets for the coveted Junior Championship title.
As a bonus this year the rally will also host the first round of the Carryduff Forklift Road to Wales initiative which boasts, as its prize, a fully funded drive in Britains round of the World Rally Championship. This initiative has been heavily supported by members of this popular local club who wish to help a talented young driver make their mark on the motorsport career ladder.
Whether you're a competitor, a marshal or an interested spectator, don't miss this opportunity to experience the thrill of fast and furious motorsport on Saturday 14th March. The first stage blasts off at ten o'clock, so for more details about the event see the club's website.
