Round 7 - 2017 Irish Forest Rally Championship

It is with regret that Rathfriland Motor Club Ltd announce that the
Down Rally, which was due to take place on 14 October 2017 in
forests in the Down area, has had to be cancelled. This event
was to have been a round of the ANICC McGrady Insurance
Northern Ireland Stage Rally Championship and the Valvoline
Motorsport Ireland National Forest Rally Championship.
In mid May 2017 the Club were suddenly advised that Tollymore
and Castlewellan Forests, which formed the backbone of the rally
in terms of stage mileage, were no longer available for Motorsport,
even though these Forests have been used in previous Down
Rallies.
Despite best efforts, the Club have been unable to identify suitable
alternative Forests in the area to allow us to run a stage event to
Championship requirements.
