This gives our registered crews and their sponsors as well as our own sponsors Clonakilty Blackpudding the coverage that they deserve. The coverage is to be shown on TG4, UTV, Sky Sports and Motors TV as well as other satellite channels. We felt that Sportsvision were the right fit for the Championship as a whole considering the previous experience they have in the rally scene”.
David Gray Chairman of T.R.O.A stated that “We did not grant this deal easily as we expect a high level of professionalism and at the end of the day Sportsvision covered all the bases we were looking for.” This year’s main Championship gets underway on 8th & 9th February with the Colm Quinn BMW Galway International Rally which is always a great test of man and machine and the interest even at this early stage is really gathering momentum.
