WITH JUST A week to go until the 2016 Joule Donegal International Rally, anticipation is revving up in the county and beyond.
A star-studded field will leave the start ramp on Letterkenny’s Port Road next Friday morning to tackle almost 300 kilometres over 20 special stages, spread across three days.
Donegal remains the jewel in the Irish Tarmac Rally calendar and is shown by the popularity of an event that has long been over-subscribed.
