In a weeks time the Sunbeam will make an appearance on the stages …. The first time in 10 years to be exact.. it won class 11r in 2016.. we don’t expect to get the same result with all the latest in technology ahead of us but its just to keep the old car alive, and the history it has with it , the last time the car left our yard it was to go up to Mondello Park to be on display for the First ever driver to have rallied it to be with it again , Rosemary Smith Was A gracious Lady with a passion for speed , she passed away in 2023 and we hope we can do her proud on the stages , Rosemary Smith 1937-2023

Heres a few clips taken by Mad for tar rally videos from the Rally of the lakes 23 , the evo got to the end of the first day in 38th o/a and leading class 20 , with a good bit of time in hand over 2nd in the class it was all about getting to the finish and the second day ended with 23 o/a and 1st in class 20 , what a weekend it was , thanks to all marshals, timekeepers , medics and officials that helped the event run , and all those out on the stages that showed support for the team , also thanks to the lads in service and Chloe Kelly on the notes 👌🏻 also thanks to our sponsors who really without them none of us would have been there , Vms hire nationwide , allpro services , hr world parther , Ballinasloe Tyre Centre , Eye To Eye photography and greine contracts , New Sponsors Welcome To Come On Board For The Donegal International Rally In June , get in touch with us if you would like your business involved 💪🏻💪🏻

Thanks to mad for tar rally videos for the clips from the west cork rally at the weekend , after a slow start to the rally with a few mistakes thrown in and a broken rear drive shaft on ss3 we were down as far as 92nd over all at one point , but in the never quit attitude we reset ourselves for the Sunday stages and by god they were wet , anyway from stage 9 up until clutch failure on the very last stage we climbed from 73rd from the start of the Sunday stages to 46 on the second last stage and were sitting with 3rd in class , looking forward to our next outing in the itrc in killarney, , thanks to everyone that has supported us so far and to all that helped in service , all the marshals, time keepers and emergency services , and all involved with the running of a super event , thanks also to Chloe Kelly who done a super job on the notes and no doubt we will be pushing even harder in Killarney “keep the revs up”

Only a few more days and she will be crackling on the galway international rally , praying for rain 🌧️ it mite benefit the 4wd cars but either way hail rain or shine we aim to give it our best and make it to the finish, its gonna be a long haul in the tarmac championship but we hope to enjoy it along the way , call over and say hi in scrutiny and service and above all enjoy the rally 🚗💨💨💨🏁🏁
