Keep Her Flying! – Irish Rally Heroes

Rallying is the most popular Motorsport in Ireland. It is easy to see why it appeals to ‘Petrolheads’. What’s not to like? It is an infectious blend of modified rally cars, mud, speed, mud, fearless drivers, mud, spotlights and did we mention the mud?

Special Stage Rallies take place on the open road, together with other special closed stages which, as the name might suggest are roads which are not open to the public. Drivers generally win or lose races based on their speeds over the closed stages.

This celebration of rallying looks at the history of the sport in Ireland, and tells the stories of the big names including Eugene Donnelly, Gareth McHale, Kris Meeke, Colm Murphy and Kevin Lynch and many more.

Photographs throughout.
