Donegal’s Eamonn Kelly was crowned Junior British Rally Champion over the weekend with two rounds still to run.
Having lead the championship since round three, the Nicky Grist Stages , Kelly sealed the crown in Aberystwyth, Wales by taking victory in the Rali Ceredigion in his Fiesta Rally 4.
His prize is a supported drive in a World Rally Championship round in 2023 behind the wheel of a Hyundai i20 N Rally2.
“This feels class,” said Kelly over the line of the final stage.
“I can’t quite believe it, I`m lost for words. It’s been such a dramatic day, so to be here so early on in the championship and taking the title is really special. We have put so much work into this, its such a team effort and it’s a credit to everyone around us, it would not have happened without them.”
His co-driver Conor Mohan must wait until the Trackrod if he is to secure the co-drivers honours.
