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”.
