Im just letting all know that a lot of work has been done this year to make the rally the best in 25 years! with all new stages that have been described as fantastic by none other that Paul Staunton, Noel Driver,Jason Roche and Ray Green, these men have been working on the stages for weeks now assuring that wicklow is a better event this year, one of the stages has never been run before and 2 have not been used in around 20 years! so if your thinking of doing a forest rally or even coming to watch one wicklow is not that far away from anywhere! Some of the names that have been mentioned as doing 00 car on the event are Philip Shaw and Gary Keenan both in Mk2 escorts!!!! With these men and the likes of Frank Kelly,Paul Barrett and Paul Staunton The 2WD comptition should be Good to watch!! Clubmen have put this rally together for clubmen and are giving good stages with good mileage too, so come and support Wicklow this year!? Regs and entry forms are on www.rally.ie NOW!!

I will proberbly take a trip to the woods-the curcuit-the rally easter I mean is too pants and too far

 

[stonemad]

Without them workin on the stages there wonldnt be a rally! so what do you do?

 

[2.4]

Fair anough but it still not fair for the other drivers!

 

[stonemad]

I agree but frank will have his dvd of the stages a week b4 so it will help! and he luvs a challenge!! with the new engine frank will be hard to beat where ever he goes! Paul helped with the rally last year and i finished in front of him!?!

 

[peespeed]

Sure isn't the old Glenealy stage litteraly at Stauntons back door and how many times did he get stuck/break down on it over the years.........like a famous rally driver once said "to finish first, first you have to finish" Fair play to Paul and the rest of the crew for putting in the work so we can go and enjoy the spectale of them going sideways on the loose.

Easy
If your driving is anything like your name and comment above you would beat Stonemad EASY in a Golf Buggy.
Stonemad might have actually gone better in his MkII as he is still possibly more confortable in that car, but he was winning the event before he ran out of drive.

EASY how many rallys or rallycars have you competed in ? Never saw your name at the top of the timesheets, so maybe you should hold back on the criticism of STONEMAD until you learn a bit more

 

[jonnyc]

what date is this rally on?

also who else would write about the stages and who had been on them . sure that was obvious what it was going to start about people knowing the stages ..
if he cant drive the evo bring the mk2 out again . till we get another laugh .
for your info , i finished in the top 20 in 4 rounds of the championship last year . also in the top 20 on tar too .so i have every rite to say what i like .

Well then, who are you impress us???

Easy
You are a hero so,
Brian is a fine driver and dont tell me that other people with rallys in their own area dont have prior knowledge.
In fairness to the forestry guys it is mainly competitors that set up the stage, because Forestry rallying is still the non attractive rally in the clubs that organise the events. So the competitors are generally involved getting their hands dirty.
As regards Sore on a car, Was the Same Evo 8.5 MR not renowned for having a dodgy box.
Rory Galligan not sire on a car, but had 2 transmission failures that cost retirement last year.
Roy White, something similar.
