Donegal Forestry Rally postponed

The McCafferty’s Bars Donegal Forestry Rally has been postponed.

Organisers say recent storm damage has left parts of the planned rally route unsafe.

The event was due to be held on Sunday, February 16th - and was set to attract a capacity entry list of 110 cars.

Clerk of the Course Johnny Baird confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday.

Baird said: "I went to inspect our planned route with an engineer from Coillte and it was clear to me that it would not be safe to send competitors, officials, marshals, spectators into the forests at this time.

"We will work with Motorsport Ireland and representatives from the Sligo Pallets Irish Forestry Championship to find an alternative date that suits all party’s when we will be able to run the event."

The planned route this year included the Donegal Town, Ballyshannon and Pettigo areas.
