Rally of the Lakes
The Rally of the Lakes takes place each year on May bank holiday weekend. The rally has been running since 1979 and in 2008 the rally formed the third round in the 2008 Global Group Irish Tarmac Rally Championship and revamped its brand identity to reflect its position as one of Ireland's leading rallies.
