Cartell.ie International Rally of the Lakes 2011

PRESS RELEASE

Cartell.ie International Rally of the Lakes 2011

Killarney, INEC, April 29 – May 1, 2011

The May Bank Holiday weekend has long been associated with rallying – it’s the weekend of the Rally of the Lakes an international event of prestige which features – at Molls Gap – one of the most picturesque stages in Irish Rallying.

Cartell.ie are proud to announce title sponsorship of this years event and have committed to supporting it for three years – a testament to our commitment to assist in the continuing development of motor sports in Ireland and the Irish motor industry generally.

Jeff Aherne, Director of Cartell.ie, says: “Rallying in Ireland has been as much affected by the current economic climate as any other industry. And while a lot of people contribute their time voluntarily, both in the lead up to the event, and around the time of the event itself, there are still many cost overheads which event organisers incur and fees which competitors must contribute. That is why, especially these days, title sponsorship of events can make a difference.”

This year, as in previous years, the Rally of the Lakes will attract large numbers of visitors to Killarney, many of them from abroad as well as from across the country. This will help to boost the tourism sector in the South West of the country.

Cartell.ie is proud to be title sponsor for the foreseeable future – we first sponsored the event last year (2010) – and ensuring the rally continues to provide entertainment to the thousands who will flock there for the spectacle of watching cars navigate the lakes area around Killarney over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.
