Introduction
Introduction from the Clerk of the Course

It gives me great pleasure to present to you with Rally Guide 1 for the 2013 Donegal International Rally and extend to you a Cead Mile Failte to Donegal for the rallying, the hospitality and the craic.

I hope this will provide a taster of what is to come, and encourage you the competitor to book your place on the Entry List, or if you are a back-up crew, marshal or spectator, book your accommodation and stay the week-end in the County.

Again the event is a qualifying round of the 2013 Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. The Mount Errigal Hotel will host Rally Headquarters for this the 41st Donegal International Rally. Again many of the familiar International Stages have been retained with centralised servicing for each of the three days.

Once again the Donegal Historic Rally is included in the Tarmac Historic Championship, using many of the Classic Stages ideally suited to Historic Cars, along with the highly competitive Junior event.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Organising Committee for their efforts and hard work on this year's event, also all our Sponsors, Residents, Landowners, Ordnance Survey, Eircom, Garda Siochana, Donegal County Council & Government Departments, Media, Filte Ireland / Bord Filte and all who have contributed towards the 2013 Donegal International Rally.

On behalf of the Club, I wish you a safe and enjoyable weekend and hope you will savour the hospitality that awaits you. Perhaps you can extend your stay in the County and appreciate the welcome, only experienced here in Donegal.
