Yes there was illegal recceing done before the Donegal rally

and it is being covered up very well shame there's leeks in the club that tell people these things, and there should be an investigation launched into ths by Motorsport Ireland although I reckon they know about it.

and

No any of the Drivers that finished were not caught its some of the Top Drivers that pulled out (or were told not to make the start ramp is more like the truth) before the rally, that were caught. I'll leave it a couple of days before I name the one driver i am 100% sure was caught 3 weeks before the rally. the other drivers I have heard from many top people involved in the sport. But do not no for sure.

Mate, if I were you I'd be extremely careful about who you name as if these rumours prove unfounded, you could find yourself being very unpopular.

if he was caught 3 weeks previous to the rally what was his car doing in letterkenny the day before the rally?? the car had even pasted scruinty on thursday morning.. in fairness i cannot say with absolute 100% certainty that he wasnt on the stages but i know for fact that the cam shaft broke and bent every valve in the engine. suppose there is little chance you would name the official???

Can't see why someone of Boland's experience would feel the need to do that to be honest? And you really can't just 'speculate' on names like that if you're not sure which you clearly aren't.

I am sure on Boland and thats the only one im positive on, I have a couple of private messages now and one person has told me he knows about the illegal recceing and said he is saying notting, He said it is so well buttoned up that he reckons the truth will never come out .of what drivers were caught and told not to turn up.

To be honest, I think one of the reasons why nothing has been said about these (not the only reason no doubt) is that naming and shaming isnt exactly the best way to deal with these potential 'cheats'. Im sure the organising car club are dealing with it in their own way.

Im sure they also dont appreciate people putting rumours or false information all over the internet either.
