The 2020 Joule Donegal International Rally has been postponed.
The event, organised by the Donegal Motor Club, normally takes place in June. But the ongoing public health concerns surrounding Covid-19 mean the event won’t be held this year.
Clerk of the Course, Eamon McGee said: “Foremost in our minds is the health and safety of the general public including residents along the routes, competitors, marshals and the hundreds of workers who help us stage the event every year.”
Club Chairman, Brian Brogan added: “Whilst the postponement is very disappointing given the time and effort already put into the event, we must also remember the huge effort and sacrifice that medical and front line emergency personnel in this country are putting in as they deal with this pandemic, let us all support them by following all current and future government guidelines or restrictions for as long it takes to bring this outbreak under control.”
Last year’s rally was hit by tragedy when local driver Manus Kelly was killed during the event.
