    West Cork Rally 2019 16th & 17th March 2019 Supplementary Regulations International 1 FOREWORD Dear Competitor, It gives me great pleasure to present to you the regulations for the Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally 2019, which takes place on the 16th & 17th March 2019. We are delighted to welcome back once again as title sponsor, Mr David Henry and his team in the newly named Clonakilty Park Hotel. We would also like to express our sincere thanks to all of our associate sponsors, and our existing event partners and associate sponsors in the host town of Clonakilty, namely the West Cork Rally Clonakilty Committee, the Clonakilty Park Hotel which will once again be the rally HQ base for the event. An event of this magnitude would simply not be possible without the ongoing support and financial backing from all of our sponsors and we thank them all dearly for their support and commitment. We would also note the support and assistance we receive from all our associate advertisers and stage sponsors and again without their support the event would not be possible and we would urge one and all to support all our sponsors and associate advertisers in their respective businesses. The event is again a counting round of the 2019 ITRC (Irish Tarmac Rally) Championship including the International, National, Historic and Junior championships. For the first time in 2019 the event is the second round of the British Rally Championship, and is also a counting round of the FIA Celtic Rally Trophy, as well as the Plasticbags.ie Southern 4 rally championship.

With full grids, slipstreaming battles I did on the committee. and close finishes, they certainly were the tonic we were looking for after what seemed to be an eternity during lockdown. They were the mainstay of all three meetings. So, will they be there at the MGCC meeting in May? Clue is in the name – but some may sneak in! I would like to thank all the marshals, compet- itors and officials for our/their efforts so far. We have had to deal with race stoppages, safety car periods, multiple recoveries, along- side all sorts of weather thrown at us during the CSCC meeting. I’m sure Vivaldi didn’t write the Four Seasons with marshals in mind! With some NW marshals venturing further afield to Donington, Cadwell Park, Croft and Silverstone, it is encouraging to see that the passion for our hobby has not diminished over the winter season.

I apologise that you are only now seeing this. I prepared it in February 2020 but didn’t send it out before going off on a skiing holiday. When we got back Covid had become all the news – in fact we were in an Italian ski resort on the first day after they shut all the schools out there. Unfortunately this got forgotten in all the excitement or boredom depending on your point of view. I am issuing it now so that we can move on to other SMC related news and have left the original date on it for reference. Sadly it contains obituaries to Welsh motorsport luminaries Jeff Churchill and Denis Cardell who passed away in late 2019 and early 2020 before the original publishing date. Happily, many of us had seen both of them fairly recently at one of the excellent Inter Club Motorsport quizzes organised by the indomitable Marie duCroq Slip.

The Lee Holland Stages went well with some new stages using a newly created road but the overwhelming issue was the worst weather I have ever seen at this venue. It’s a tribute to the set-up team for their efforts on the rain and wind lashed Saturday as the stage set-up was commented on very favourably by the Motorsport UK Steward. The event started on time and bar a few minor hiccups things were done much to the enjoyment of the competi- tors. After many months of detailed planning numerous members of SD34 MSG clubs and the BRMC delivered only the second closed road rally in England and what a success it was. The town of Garstang was heaving with specta- tors for the opening ceremony and thankfully the earlier rain went away in time for the cars to arrive on the High Street. Then an early start on the Saturday morning completing the set up of the stages, things like putting the bales for the chicanes in place, and then the first cars were eagerly awaited. I was on the Hawthornthwaite stage and all three runs were trouble free apart from a couple of breakdowns. In the gaps between the runs we man- aged to do a soup run for all the marshals and get a milk tanker in to do a collection, the sort of things people would never think about normally ! As it was new to us all there will obviously be many things to learn from but everyone involved in this event should be extremely proud of their efforts and here’s to the running of the 22nd Legend Fires North West Stages.
