RALLY GUIDE
Introduction
IntroducƟon from the Clerk of the Course
It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Rally Guide for the 2015 Joule Donegal Interna onal Rally and extend to you a Donegal Cead Míle Fáilte, for the rallying, the hospitality and the craic. I hope this will provide you with a taster of what is to come, and if you are a compe tor, back‐up crew, marshal or spectator, encourage you to book your accommoda on and stay the weekend in our wonderful county. Again the event is a qualifying round of the 2015 Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. The Mount Errigal Hotel will host rally headquarters for this the 42nd Joule Donegal Interna onal Rally. Again many of the familiar Interna onal stages have been retained with centralised servicing for each of the three days. Once again the Donegal Historic Rally is included in the Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Historic Championship, using many of the classic stages ideally suited to historic cars, along with the highly compe ve junior event. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the organising commi ee for their efforts and hard work on this year's event and our tle sponsor Joule. The co‐opera on of the residents, landowners, Ordnance Survey, An Garda Síochána, Donegal County Council & Government Departments is much appreciated as it the involvement of the media, Fáilte Ireland, and all who have contributed towards the 2015 Joule Donegal Interna onal Rally. On behalf of Donegal Motor Club, I wish you a safe and enjoyable weekend and hope you will savour the hospitality that awaits you. Perhaps you can extend your stay in the county and appreciate the welcome, only experienced here in Donegal.
