There are Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy members to follow at home and abroad this weekend as crews take on the Circuit of Kerry Stages Rally and Spain’s Rallye La Llana.

The highly anticipated first round of the Dacia Sandero Challenge Cup took place last Sunday at the Midland Stages Rally, hosted by the Midland Motor Club.

Eighteen special stages form the itinerary across St. Patrick’s weekend with all of the major Rally 2 marques represented in the top ten.

After months of anticipation and build up, the Motorsport Ireland Junior Rally Series (MIJRS) class of 2025 finally engaged stage mode and set off on what is set to be an incredibly exciting season, and for Jack Kennedy and Cian Caldwell in particular the season opening Midland Stages Rally could not have gone better as they claimed victories in Class 2 & 2A and begin the campaign with maximum points.
