DUNLOP NATIONAL RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP BEAMING ON TG4
The Motorsport Ireland Show TV Programme will be aired on TG4 on Wednesday nights at 11pm. details below

Irish motorsport has stepped up a gear and each week from now until late October will be beamed around the country on TG4 thus increasing the profile of the sport that also provides a significant boost to the economy of the region where the rally takes place.  The Motorsport Ireland Show is a new weekly 30 minute programme aired on TG4 on Wednesday nights at 11pm.The race for the Motorsport Safety Team Group N award, the inaugural Dunlop National Mark 2 Escort Champions Trophy, the rally.ie award for the top two-wheel drive competitor and the Dunlop Junior Rally Championship ensure there is plenty of variety in the action packed 30 minute programme.

Meanwhile, along with the coverage of the Dunlop series, rounds of the Irish Tarmac Championship and the Valvoline National Forestry Championship will also be transmitted on Wednesday nights between now and the end of October.

Alex Sinclair, Chief Executive of Motorsport Ireland, believes this is an important step forward for the sport.  “To be able to offer a quality weekly motorsport programme to Irish supporters is a huge step forward for the sport in Ireland.  This will help give exposure to the sport at all levels and hopefully this will entice more sponsors to motorsport that in turn will sustain the sport and help it to grow further over the coming years.”   He added, “We are indebted to our sponsors, Dunlop and Valvoline, and to our clubs for their support in order to make this show a reality.  We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Alan Tyndall and Mick Bracken for their assistance in putting the deal together with TG4 and for producing - free to air - some of the best motorsport imagery in the world”.

Ronan Ó Coisdealbha, Head of Sport TG4 remarked, “TG4 are very pleased to be broadcasting the new Motorsport Ireland series and to give viewers all over Ireland the opportunity to see the best motorsport events from around the country”.
