Donegal International Rally to Launch This Evening
The 2024 Wilton Recycling Donegal International Rally launch is set to take place this evening at Divers Hyundai on Canal Road, Letterkenny. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM, where the eagerly anticipated seeded entry list will be unveiled.
Tribute Garden Unveiling
Prior to the rally launch, the Donegal Motor Club will unveil a tribute garden in Ballymacool Town Park at 6:30 PM. This garden is dedicated to all members of the motorsport community and will be open to the public as a serene space for reflection and relaxation.
Brian Brogan, Chairman of the Donegal Motor Club, expressed his enthusiasm for the new garden, stating, “In these busy times, it is important to take a step back and find a place to park your worries and concerns, even if just for a short time. We believe this area will benefit the whole community.” Brogan highlighted that this initiative, supported by Donegal County Council, is designed to serve all community members.
Official Rally Launch
At 7:30 PM, the official launch of the Wilton Recycling sponsored Donegal Rally will commence at Divers Hyundai showroom. Eamon McGee, the Clerk of the Course, is once again at the helm and looks forward to welcoming crews, officials, and supporters to what he promises will be a truly international event. McGee emphasized the rally’s appeal, drawing participants from across Ireland, the UK, and beyond.
This year’s rally has seen a record number of entries. The 2024 route has been revamped, with Friday’s stages covering areas not visited in over a decade, while Saturday and Sunday will feature traditional stages but in a refreshed configuration.
The Donegal International Rally promises to be an exciting and memorable event, celebrating both the rich history and the vibrant future of motorsport in the region.
