2009/10 Northern Ireland Rallycross Open Championship Final round preview

Not only is Nutts Corner circuit hosting rounds one and two of the series but also the final two rounds of the Northern Ireland Rallycross Open Championship. Virtually all the categories are still wide open in this championship and pretty much anyone can still win as the best 3 out of 4 points scoring rounds count. The points position really is that tight.

Mad Mark Watson will be keen to score maximum points in both championships,having already secured a flag to flag victory in the opening round of the Northern Ireland Open series back in October. However, Declan Kelly was second then behind the Citroen Xsara, has since taken the win in round two with his Escort and has his sights firmly set on making the championship his.

Don Shannon’s familiar Volvo S40 currently heads the Super National category but the points situation is very tight behind the Ballymoney driver, with Stanley Bovill (Astra), Sam Bovill (Corsa), James Murphy (Escort), Barry McCardle (Renault 5) and Ian Byrne (Toyota MR2) all in with a shout.

Mark Francis has been the dominant force in the Junior category, as has Jackie Harris in Procar 1600, but we all know anything can yet happen as there is always plenty of fierce competition in these classes. Nutts Corner also gives us a chance to see the two and four wheel driver rally cars in action, both very well supported classes. Also throw in all of the drivers aiming to make a good start in the Fuchs Lubricants Rallycross Open Championship and you can be assured that drivers will be going flat out for top honours.

After a rallycross starved start to 2010, the Nutts Corner weekend is expecting a very solid entry list, making it the perfect way to end one championship and kick start another.
