Conor Mohan and Billy Coleman Award winner Eamonn Kelly contested the junior element of Rally Italia Sardegna.
They endured a tough and demanding rally on their way to taking sixth in their category. The Sardinia-based rally was one of the most difficult of the season so far. Changeable weather conditions and extremely rough roads made it one of the most demanding rallies of the season so far.
Donegal driver Kelly, the class winner in Croatia in May, was almost lost for words afterwards. Eamon remarked how glad he was to get to the end of the rally
It’s been a tough event, it is very hard to describe how crazy it is, but I enjoyed every bit of it,
Kelly is sixth in the championship standings after Italy, the third of five rounds. Mohan is fifth in the co-driver classification. Next up is Estonia in July but with double points on offer in the final round in Greece, the series remains wide open.
William Creighton and Liam Regan took the win in the category to extend their championship lead, with the result meaning that a Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy driver has won every junior round so far this year.
