Galway Summer Rally 🏁

A long day with very little rallying (4 stages) due to a late start & unfortunate incidents, however good to get to the finish.

Thanks to Conor O’Connell for a mint job on the notes & Anthony & Brianie in service, solving a few gremlins we had.

Great to be back behind the wheel again, despite not being at any great pace, rebuilding the confidence.

Hopefully more seat time to come!
Back to the navi seat in the near term.

Thanks to everyone who helped me get back out in any way big or small!

All was in order & and the Honda was ready to rock for the Tipperary Stonethrowers this weekend.
Unfortunately the high temperatures forced the club to postpone it, hard luck to them after all of their effort in the build up.

Onto the Galway Summer rally on the 23rd August!

Carlow Stages Rally 🥉

A calculated drive in Dry, wet and then greasy drying conditions by David Travers Motorsport yielded a 4th podium of the year in the MIJRS 2A championship.

A consistent pace with no errors & faultless car prep have been key to our recent results. We look forward to the second half of the season with plenty to build on.

Thanks to the Travers family & Mark for prep and servicing, David for the steering, and the organisers for a smooth & enjoyable rally.

Glad to get to the finish in Mayo!

While we only rallied 4 of the stages due to blockages and the cancellation of the last loop, it was still a huge challenge.

There was plenty of mud & standing water which could’ve caught out even the most cautious.
We took it very handy with no risks to finish 71st O/A and 8th in the class.

Thanks to Sean on the notes & Anthony, Brianie & Mike in service, who were absolutely soaked through from 9am!
Fair play to the marshals for standing out in it!

Ready to Rock for the Mayo Stages Rally!

Thanks to everyone who’s helped in the rebuild over the last year, and in getting me back out this weekend 🙌

Challenging stages lie ahead, but the tyre choice should be easy 🌧️

Sean Mitchell is onboard calling the notes.

A good start to the year with 2 starts and 2 strong Finishes:

Shane McCarthy & I had a very clean run on the Galway International Rally in his 11f Civic. Saturday’s fast stages & Sunday’s typical Galway greasy roads were no bother to Shane on his first visit, and we were glad to come home with 5th in class.

Back in the woods with David Travers, he adapted well to his new Fiesta R2t at the Yeats Ridge Forest Rally.
Despite clutch issues, we secured 3rd in class and some decent MIJRS points for David’s campaign.

Thanks to Healy Rally Prep & the Travers family for servicing, and all organisers and marshals.

And now… Back to the Driver seat at long last for the Mayo Stages Rally!

2025 Recap 💥

Tough year on the driving side, moving up to 11f in the junior spec Civic.

A Good run in the Midlands Stages with Shane Maguire on board, holding 5th in class, ended on SS7 with Distributor failure.

Onto the Circuit of Kerry with Liam Callaghan on the notes. Unfortunately an accident on SS1 ended my season. Thanks to all who helped on scene.

Back in the Navi seat, I had a few good runs with John Ward Rallying in the Rally4 Fiesta, with Neil Tohill in the Evo X, and with David Travers in the J1000’s to end the season strongly!

Thanks to all for 2025.

Onwards to more, better and faster in ‘26!

Good to be back in the Navi seat over the past few weekends, first in Mayo & then in Laois.

Solid run with John Ward Rallying in the Fiesta Rally4 at the Mayo Forestry rally to 23rd O/A and 6th in class through the slippy north Mayo woods.

Into 4WD machinery with Neil Tohill then for the Laois Heartlands rally. We settled into the fast & flowing stages well enough to finish 32nd O/A & 4th in class.

Cheers to the drivers, mechanics and most importantly the organisers on two very enjoyable events.

Unfortunately Liam & I had an accident on SS1 of the Circuit of Kerry.
Thanks to those who stopped and checked on us, marshals & the club for putting on a great event. Stages were savage, only a shame we didn’t get further.

Thanks as ever to Chris Lee Cleaning for his support, and Dad for prep & servicing.

We’ll fix and be back soon again 💪
