Fastnet Stages Rally 2011 - 30th October 2011

Motorsport Photographer Sligo The West Lodge Hotel in Bantry was the headquarters for the Fastnet Stages Rally. The move from it's traditional home in Skibbereen has paid off for the organisers with the town of Banty putting on a great welcome for the event with the service area in the town center, park and ride facilities, a selection of business offering a 10% reduction on Saturday and after a two year absence Eugene Donnelly running 5th on the road, what more could you need...... Their was a lot of Fog on Sunday, making condition difficult for the drivers. A puncture for Donnelly on Stage 1 meant he lost over a minute, he gradually clawed it back during the day to finish second, only 6 seconds down on the winner Daragh O'Riordan.
