lol!

Proud to have been part of the first unnoficial 6R4 challenge along with Rallybuzz that bumped up the cash prize

hi guys!

how many km's are the stages? and how many stages?
total rally km?

asked many questions, just curious about the event

thanks

omer, this rally is held in a large public park in the town of Lurgan; it is totally enclosed within the boundary of the park and the 8 stages are repeated around the narrow roadways within; it allows for great close-up viewing for the public, and is a great day out as other attractions/stalls and car-clubs usually attend too.........

that sounds interesting Billy, and thanks for the quick respond and info.
I tried to find out more details about the stages and the conditions. I guess this is a tarmac rally?
is it a leg of the British championship as well?

It isn't part of any Championship but has always been one of the most high profile events in Irish rallying. Stages are around 1.5miles, mostly tarmac but some gravel as well

This might give you a flavour of the event, Omer.
