Ford WRC ace to head entry at Punchestown Rally Spectacular

27 June 2002: Former world rally champion Colin McRae and the Ford World Rally team have confirmed they will attend the World Rally Experience at Punchestown Racecourse on July 21.

Probably the biggest name in world rallying, the 33-year-old Scot will drive a Ford Focus WRC in the event and give his huge Irish following the rare opportunity to see the winner of the recent Acropolis Rally in action on Irish soil.

A former Circuit of Ireland Rally winner, McRae - who will be in action on the Safari Rally the weekend prior to the World Rally Experience - heads the 40-strong entry for the event which runs over the 4Km asphalt perimeter track around the Co Kildare racecourse.
