@@fivedotsdave9723it should be noted that the group b that we all love so much was stopped in part due to crowds being silly like these people, but keep making fun of people for worrying about safety.
You are absolutely bang on the money mate. Don't listen to that plank of wood who's just a brainless petrol head. A little history here! Once upon a time in the late 70's early 80's the Circuit of Ire rally was a great international event on the rallying calendar. The top teams and the top names all came. Hannu Mikkola, the late Heni Toivonen, Penti Arikkula and Ari Vattenin amongst others. Along with great British drivers like Jimmy McRae, Russell Brooks and Tony Ponds and legendary Irish drivers like Billy Coleman and Bertie Fisher and Austin McHale. The Circuit was a great event bringing a jamboree of rallying over the Easter weekend back in that era. Then there was a horrible crash in a local rally with 5 spectators killed. With the result being the Coi rally was cut down, the big sponsorship was lost and those big names never returned because the event was undermined. Obviously the loss of life is utterly tragic but the fallout in terms of the event is unrecoverable. All because of fcukin idiots who haven't got a Scooby do about safety.
Meeke is indeed “uk”…but when it comes to rallying he has no allegiance to any flag, he loves all support from both sides of the Irish divide….great driver and great bloke.
