Despite the bitter weather, Kirkistown was packed on Saturday. The New Year Stages rally brought plenty of surprises from bumps and bashes to a double first time appearance in Ireland of two cars. The ex-Dani Sordo Mini Countryman WRC and a full works S-14 Subaru Impreza. Those coupled with plenty of sideways action from the Mark II Escorts ensured plenty of smiles!
Overall it was a fantastic but chilly day out! Well done to the marshals and event organisers for a safe and exciting day of Motorsport. Be sure to keep checking newtownards.org in the coming weeks for all the news and events taking place around the area – especially the North Antrim Motor Club rally at Kirkistown in February!
