The RallyX championship moved onto round 2 in Cork. The weather had been quite dry and the track was the loosest and dustiest we’ve seen it in years. The club put on a good event as usual.

Rain doesn’t dampen fun at RallyX Round 3

McBurney, Abernethy and McLean take the top steps at RallyX Round 3 from BADMCC. The drivers at Round 3 of the RCCAOI RallyX Nationals experienced all four seasons over the weekend with blistering sunshine on Saturday for Ebuggy & Truggy and overcast and eventually thunderous conditions on Sunday. Well done to the RallyX A Final competitors who made it through the very wet race – it was a race of attrition.
