Circuit of Ireland Rally Power Stage

Entry has been lodged and we are looking forward to the lisburn power stage.

Thousands of spectators are expected to pack the streets of Lisburn on Easter Saturday as the Donnelly Group Circuit of Ireland Rally in association with UTV Drive roars into the City Centre, with support from Lisburn City Council.

The Council is sponsoring the Lisburn “Power Stage” which will see competitors battle the clock on public roads as Lisburn becomes the first city in the UK to close its centre for a competitive rally stage.

In a double for Lisburn City, UTV Drive will stream the Lisburn Power Stage live on the Internet, bringing the adrenaline fuelled excitement of the Circuit and images of Lisburn to motorsport fans across the globe.

Circuit of Ireland Rally Power Stage

Working Hard to get a budget for the Circuit of Ireland

Once again Clive will have the highly experienced Richard Hunniford co driving and the car will be run by Crozier Motorsport Engineering.  The car has been stripped down, cleaned and painted after last season’s forest events.  We are currently working on  the suspension and the engine is also getting a few upgrades to up the power for the Circuit.

Advertising space on the car bodywork  or on the dash for the in-car camera is still available for the Circuit of Ireland.  This year’s Rally will take place over the Easter Weekend and will see the excitement begin in Armagh, the ancient capital of Ulster, on Saturday 23rd April. Competitors will undertake 16 stages across the Orchard County, County Down, County Antrim and Monaghan before returning to Armagh for the finish on Easter Sunday afternoon (24th April).

Thousands of rally fans are expected to descend on Armagh where the Rally will be headquartered and where the Service Park will be located at the Armagh City Hotel.

Lisburn City will also play a major role in the 2011 event however organisers are remaining tight-lipped for the moment with precise details to be announced in the coming weeks.

Modern Tyre Service Mourne Rally 2010

Former karter Clive Kilpatrick and Richard Hunniford (ex-Northern Ireland Rally champion with Neil McCance) sealed victory in the Group A Autofashion.ie Cup at this year’s Modern Tyre Service Mourne Rally, despite their Evo 5 being down on power during the first three stages with a fuel pressure pipe disconnected, and also having a big spin at a square left on stage two.

With the pressure pipe replaced in service, we had a good run on stage four until our intercom gave up over the big jump at Gullion. With the intercom fixed for the remaining stages we made a good come back from 40th o/a to 19th o/a and finished second in class 9, setting top 15 stage times.
