Fáilte
- Welcome to The Donegal Rally Ireland Official Website.
Mid-June, High Summer! 3 days of pure MotorSport!
What else could it be in the rally calendar but the Donegal Rally in
Ireland.
Back in the early 1970’s the Donegal Motor Club, organised and
promoted an event, called the Circuit of Donegal International Rally.
In those early days the rally covered the whole county. Mythic and classic
stage names such as Atlantic Drive, Kindrum and Fanad Head in the North,
Glen, Derrylaghy, Muckish and Cashelnagor in the North West; Dungloe
Lake, Doochary and Treantagh in the West; and Gweebarra, Rosbeg and
Lough Eske in the South.
The event was a round of the European Rally Championship during the
mid 1970’s and boasts some of the greats of Irish, British and
the World rallying stage, as it’s past winners.
Cahal Curley, Billy Coleman, Jimmy McRae, the late Bertie Fisher, Andrew
Nesbitt, Achim Warmbold and the great Ari Vatanen are just some of the
drivers who competed.
Donegal continues to attract thousands of spectators each year and has
become a central feature of the tourism industry in the county. The
event enjoys great support from local business, the local services and
the public alike.
The Donegal Motor Club appreciates the support given by all the official
organisations, and to the legions of helpers who devote their time to
the smooth running of this Irish gem.
To the many visitors, spectators, competitors who will visit Co. Donegal
in the future, just like the thousands who came here over the past 30
years – we will offer a hearty Cead Mile Fáilte.
