CALLING ALL RALLY FANS

to
Brands Hatch
on
Sunday 22 November 2009

Keith Cronin, the newly-crowned British Rally Champion will be in action at the London Motor Sport Show this coming weekend, driving the Mitsubishi Evo 9 which took him to the 2009 title.

23-year-old Cronin, from Bantry, County Cork, won the 2008 Billy Coleman Young Driver of the Year Award, and - within only one season - has rewarded the panel of judges, his sponsors, his team, and his many fans with a season of spectacular driving and success.

He also bridged a 35-year-gap to 1974, when fellow Corkman Billy Coleman became the first Irishman to win the British Rally Championship.

On Sunday at Brands Hatch, Keith will demonstrate at first hand, especially to those who were unable to travel to the rallies, his natural talent and car control. It is an event that must not be missed.

Keith will be in Scotland this week, competing in Rally Scotland for the first time. This is the final round of the 2009 FIA Intercontinental Rally Challenge and his progress can be monitored on www.rally.ie.

Keith has his own website at  www.croninmotorsport.com, a site which can keep any motorsport fan entertained for hours. This weekend will see the UK launch of the popular Keith Cronin Supporters` Club, which supporters can join on a yearly membership basis. There will be a draw for new members who join up on the day and the lucky ones will get the opportunity to sit with Keith during the demo runs on the day.

The Supporters` Club hold an end-of-year "Super Draw". The top prize winner gets to co-drive with Keith on a rally during the year. Just last weekend, Derry O`Brien from Bantry, Co. Cork, co-drove for Keith on the Kerry Mini Stages Rally.

All members are kept informed by the official text messaging service, reporting the team`s progress on events in which they compete.
This is a first in rallysport.

Keith`s Mitsubishi won`t be the only rally car in action over the weekend. You will also see Mk2 Escorts, a G3 Escort Cosworth, a Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, an Opel Manta 400, a Peugeot 205 Maxi, a Darrian T90 and cars from the Group B era. There will be at least ten high-performance rally cars in action on both Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets can be obtained from www.racecarlive.com.

See you there - we will be located in Pit Garage No12.
          
For those who can`t make it to Brands Hatch, come to the Supporters` event on Sunday night at The Oakwood Tavern,155 Bramley Road, Oakwood, London N14 4XA, starting at 8.30pm.

Keith will be there to meet and greet supporters and friends. Supporters` Club membership and merchandise will be available on the night.
