Message from Clerk of the Course, Kieran Donohue.
I know that all of you will be aware that the prolonged heavy rain, winds and high tides arecausing very serious issues for those living in coastal areas and inland alike. Many farms, homesand access roads have become flooded and damage and hardship is significant for thoseaffected. The community along parts of the route of next Saturday’s stages of the Colm QuinnBMW Galway International Rally has been particularly badly affected.
Having consulted with residents and local authorities, a decision has been made to shorten bothstages of the rally to be run on Saturday.
However, Stage 2, which was to have run twice, will now run three times as part of a revisedtime schedule for the day.
For the benefit of competitors and spectators alike I attach a map showing the amended routeand also the revised time schedule. These details replace those previously issued, and also thoseappearing in the official Rally Programme. For the benefit of spectators, I have also indicatedcertain access roads that have become impassable. The information indicated was accurate atthe time of issue, but is subject to change, such is the nature of these severe conditions.
I would appeal to spectators travelling to the Saturday stages to plan their journeys to arriveearly. With the limited access, vantage points will be crowded and traffic congestion inevitable.The club has arranged for additional marshalling on access roads to assist spectators and tokeep traffic moving. Patience will be required! I would ask you to please obey marshals, theyhave a very difficult job to do.
I am very grateful for the support of the residents and the elected representatives of Gort andit’s locality for their forbearance and support. I would ask competitors and spectators alike torespect the their unfortunate situation.
Happily, all of the Sunday Stages are currently planned to run in full and in accordance withthe printed schedules in the Official Rally Programme.

Good pics. Fairly bleak looking with the mucky road and water spray off the cars. Too early in the year for this rally which is a pity as i look for any excuse to go to Galway. However after being washed out of it 2 years in a row, i now only go to the Summer rallys. :wrxsmiley
