As you're in Louth the governing body for rallying is Motorsport Ireland (http://www.motorsportireland.com), but if you want to know what's happening just over the border then check the UK Motor Sports Association (http://www.msauk.org). They should be able to provide details of local motor clubs. If you haven't found it yet, Brian Patterson's site (http://www.rallynews.net) is pretty good for event reports & results.
If you were really interested, you'd already have it sussed.
Rallying is a fairly closed shop Bazza2541, it isn't like you have car clubs listed in the Yellow pages under Rally is it? Although I listed mine under sporting clubs, just ended up with heaps of junk mail :-(
If you are not already inside, finding out how to get involved wouldn't be easy.
Come to Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny on first monday of the month at 7.30/8pm. Or approach ANY marshall at ANY rally. Or ANY competitor at ANY rally. Its not rocket science. If he was intrested he'd find a way. How did the rest of us do it? And as for it being a closed shop........balls!
Bazza, your club must be so proud to have an ambassador like you :p imp:
So how do you find out where this rally is taking place if you don't knowQuote:

Just put RALLY into Google and assume that eventually after attending so many neo nazi marches one will involve cars?
Once you find an event, what stop the car mid stage, who are the marshals can you just go up to them as they set cars off.
Other than that, faultess post, keep it up.........
If you can't find a rally in Ireland you must be both blind and stupid.Quote:

As for the marshalls, I think you'll find an abundance at every event. I hear rumours that they are on every single junction and at the start and end of every stage too. Contrary to popular belief they don't bite either.
Now granted competitors can be more difficult to find, especially if you are blind and stupid, but I talk to loads at the various service parks.
Its not rocket science.
Ahh so it's you that comes up and asks stupid questions when we have important things to do.
So how did you get started, as I know quite a few who didn't find it all that easy.
