Billy Coleman Award Winner Plans New Season

Rory Galligan has been a front runner in Britain's' Peugeot Super 106 Cup for the past two seasons, and had planned to return to the championship in 2001, for which he was favourite to lift the trophy.

These plans have been hampered by the Foot and Mouth epidemic in the UK "With the experience of last year behind me, I was really looking forward to the 2001 championship and had just completed building a new car when the first event, the Rally of Wales was cancelled" said Galligan

Having looked at the various options and with rallying in Ireland also suspended for the immediate future, the team decided to compete in the French Peugeot 106 Cup. He has teamed up with a new co-driver, David Jones from Edgeworthstown.
