​This week’s RIAC - Motorsport Ireland classic video from the RPM Motorsport collection is highlights from the 2002 Jim Clark Rally.
2002 saw the Irish Tarmac Championship include a round in Scotland for the first time. With British and Irish Championship rules somewhat aligned, in addition to the Manx and the Ulster, the Jim Clark Rally now provided a third opportunity for the top crews in each series to go directly up against each other. New territory for almost all entered, it was Derek McGarrity who led at the end of opening day with Andrew Nesbitt over a minute adrift in fourth. Propshaft failure for McGarrity put him out early on day 2 as Nesbitt scythed his way to the front of the field to win by over 2 and a half minutes.
This programme will be available to stream below from 7pm on May 19th

Watch the 1997 ALMC Rally from 7pm, Thursday May 12th

Picture
​This week’s RIAC - Motorsport Ireland classic video from the RPM Motorsport collection is highlights from the 1997 ALMC Rally.
With plans to grow through the 90s, ALMC moved their rally to Co. Laois in 1996 and by 1997 had set about raising the profile of the event with a high profile launch in Dublin Castle and entries from Austin McHale and Bertie Fisher to compliment the strong field of regular National Championship contenders. McHale proved untouchable, while Fisher (who was trying a left hand drive car for the first time) eventually clawed up to second place at the expense of Hugh Martin Doherty who proved to be the best of the rest.
This programme will be available to stream below from 7pm on May 12th.

Watch the 2002 Fiat racing action from 7pm, Thursday May 5th

Picture
​This week’s Motorsport Ireland – RIAC classic video from the RPM Motorsport collection is highlights from a trio of Fiat races from 2002.
Fiat’s involvement with Irish saloon car racing was arguably never as good as it was in 2002. With three classes to choose from, the Fiat Uno Dunlop Challenge, the Fiat Punto Dunlop Challenge and the Fiat Punto Abarth Challenge all provided full grids and close racing for a relatively modest outlay. This week’s upload provides highlights from each of the three classes in three action packed Mondello Park races.
This programme will be available to stream below from 7pm on May 5th.

Watch the 1997 Rally of the Lakes from 7pm, Thursday April 21st

​This week’s RIAC - Motorsport Ireland classic video from the RPM Motorsport collection is highlights from the 1997 Rally of the Lakes.
Having gone close on a number of occasions in 1996, Liam O’Callaghan continued his quest for a maiden international win in 1997. The Rally of Lakes was an event he had performed strongly on in the past and blasted into a commanding lead. With only 5 stages left, O’Callaghan led by over a minute but a puncture on the Caragh Lake stage caused him to retire after it damaged the suspension on his Toyota Celica. That left Austin McHale in a perfect position to steal in and take his first Killarney win since 1988.
This programme will be available to stream below from 7pm on April 21st.

​Next week’s upload will see more Rally of the Lakes highlights as we jump forward 5 years to 2002.

​This week’s RIAC - Motorsport Ireland classic video from the RPM Motorsport collection is highlights from the 2002 Circuit of Ireland.
Following the tragic losses of Bertie Fisher and Frank Meagher and a Foot and Mouth Disease enforced hiatus, the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship resumed in 2002 with the Circuit of Ireland and a new base, Enniskillen. Andrew Nesbitt was at the peak of his powers around this time and he dominated the event behind the wheel of a P2000 Subaru Impreza WRC to win by over 2 and a half minutes. It was to be start of a devastatingly dominant season for the Armagh driver and his co-driver James O’Brien.
This programme will be available to stream below from 7pm on April 14th.
