DON'T MISS CARSPORT'S JUNE EDITION ON SALE NOW..............
DISCOVER DONEGAL: All roads lead to Donegal this month. There may not be big names like Sebastien Loeb on the entry list this year, but the rally is sure to be action-packed as usual. Eamon Boland, Tim McNulty and Gareth McHale have been so evenly matched this year, it is hard to predict a winner, as just a fraction of a second is usually all that separates them. Add in the possibility of Mark Higgins in a Mitsubishi Lancer and Kris Meeke in a Clio kit car and you are guaranteed another classic weekend of motorsport in the North West.
