IRC Scotland

28th October 2009

 

Cronin Motorsport are delighted to announce that the reigning British
Rally Champions will be competing on the final Round of the IRC, Rally
Scotland, in a hired Abarth Grande Punto S2000. The deal has been on
the table with over a week as the final details had to be worked out
and is has now been confirmed that is will go ahead.
 
Abarth have been competitive this year and it will be
exciting to see Keith and Greg out in a competitive IRC car.
They will travel to Northern Italy early next week to have a
testing session in the car.  

 

This is a fantastic opportunity for the lads to move a step
up from the BRC and was made possible by support from Cremin
Coaches, Cronin Motorsport Supporters Club and Pirelli, who
have agreed to supply tyres for the event.
Speaking about the development, today, Keith stated that he
was very excited about the prospect and that since the deal
was first tabled nearly two weeks ago he has been in daily
negotiations about the finer details and that he now can't
wait to drive the car. He was involved in testing a Proton
Satria S2000 earlier in the year and although he did not get
to actually drive that car he said that the car felt much
more balanced and responsive than the Mitsubishi.
Photographs from the Italian test session will be available
here shortly afterwards.
