Entry Form

The 2009 West Cork Classic Retro will take place over the weekend of May 15th, 16th & 17th.
This year's event will again be part of the Irish Retro Challenge, sponsored by Autostation, main Skoka and Mitsubishi dealers. The 2009 Challenge will consist of four rounds, the TDC Classic, our own West Cork Classic Retro, the IMRC Irish Rally Retro and the UAC Circuit Retro.
The event is open to all Club Members, whatever type of car you have, be it an old one or a new one! Unfortunately, the overall prizes will only be available to cars which are pre 1977 but there will be classes for modern cars also, both petrol or diesel! Billy tells us that this is a really fantastic event and as some of you will have already worked out, is Cork Motor Club's only three day rally. It will be based in the Quality Hotel in Clonakilty.
It’s a real endurance test of man and machine, with all sorts of disciplines during the day and during the night.
If you decide that this is not the event for you to compete on, why not give a hand with the marshalling, or PR which needs to be done in the weeks beforehand.
