by Trish Whelan. Former World Rally Champion, Colin McRae, is to drive a Course Car on the Ordnance Survey Ireland Rally of the Lakes 2005, which will take place over the May Bank Holiday Weekend. The Scot, who won the World title in 1995, will use his own Mark 2 Ford Escort RS for the task, and his presence is certain to attract huge crowds to the Killarney-based event. His co-driver in the Escort will be Roger Herron.
The Ordnance Survey Ireland Rally of the Lakes 2005 will be the third round of the Pirelli Irish Tarmac Rally Championship, and the second round of both the West Euro Cup and the 023 Tiles Southern Four Rally Championship.
The event kicks off on Friday, April 29th with a Super Special stage at Killarney Racecourse between 5.30pm and 9pm.
Part of the proceeds from the Super Special will go to the Kerry Mountain Rescue Service.
