Preparations are well advanced for the 2013 Safety Direct Galway International Rally. This year’s event takes place over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd February. Safety Direct have sponsored the event for many years. Alan Fair, on behalf of the company, states that the reason for this is that it showcases its products and services to a wide audience, and complements the strong organising team in Galway Motor Club.


Early indications are that there will be a full entry of up to 130 cars in the International, National and Historic sections of the popular rally. In 2012 entries were received from as far afield as America and Australia, which prompted the organisers to support the “Gathering Ireland” initiative in 2013. The event has traditionally brought a welcome early season boost to visitor numbers to Galway city and county.

The 2013 event will have a Ceremonial Start in Eyre Square on Saturday 2nd February at 8.00pm, following afternoon scrutineering of cars at MotorPark, Terryland from 2pm.
Headquarters for the event is the Clayton Hotel, Ballybrit, Galway. The rally route will cover 8 stages in East Galway, on Sunday 3rd February, and the rally Service Park will be in Ballinasloe that day.  Sunday evening will see the Ceremonial Finish , also in Ballinasloe at 5.00pm that evening. Admission to all events is free over the weekend.
