The event, being run by Kerry Motor Club, is now at an advanced stage of planning. The nine-stage route, which covers over 110km of competitive action, is sure to test some of the best drivers in the country.
The route, localised to the North Kerry area includes multiple variations to some classic stages. The Rally HQ will once again be at our title sponsor, The Rose Hotel, with the service park also located on the hotel grounds.
The rally is the second round of the Triton National Rally Championship. Kerry Clubman Noel O Sullivan was on the notes for Callum Devine as the Derry/Kerry combination took the top step of the podium at the championship opener in the Midlands Rally last weekend.
The Rose Hotel Circuit of Kerry is the opening round of the Top Park West Coast Championship, which is celebrating its 30th year of running and the second round of the local Central Car Sales Kingdom of Kerry Championship.
Speaking on the launch, 2023 Deputy Clerk of the Course Sean Moriarty said; “I would like to extend an invitation to everybody to come along on Wednesday, March 22nd as we officially launch the rally at The Rose Hotel.
“We are very much looking forward to welcoming a huge crowd to Tralee on the first weekend of April which is a timely boost to tourism numbers in the town during a typical downtime for the tourism sector. We are very much looking forward to meeting you all for the launch which is sure to be a night of chat and excitement as we build up to the off on April 1st”.
