irish-rallying.com goes beta!
Posted: September 7, 1999 9:32 PM - 5018 Hits

The revamped irish-rallying.com begins its public beta testing today. This hearlds a new beginning for the website which began it's life as a hobby page for Brian Duggan. It is now the ultimate source for irish rallying related information on the web.

As with any beta testing session, we welcome all comments and suggestions especially those relating to bugs. Feel free to contact Brian or myself, George Clernon, about the site.

Updates (GC|7/9): We are now entering the final stages of beta testing. The next major event will be upgrading the server. In the meantime, have a look at the new For Sale page and the TV Listings page. The "For Sale" page is currently only for competitive cars. If anyone feels we've missed out on a program or two in the TV section please let us know.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding a "My Netscape" channel, a mail digest of all the recent articles and hopefully cross linking between other popular motorsport sites. Oh and possibly SMS messaging! And webcasting from events...
