Tonight's launch of the Corrib Oil Galway International Rally has been cancelled as organisers concentrate on achieving the additional 40 entries they require for the February 2nd event to go ahead. At the moment, Galway Motor Club have 60 entries but this number is clearly short of what is required to make the rally financially viable as the following statement from Galway Motor Club outlines:
The launch of the 2020 Corrib Oil Galway International Rally due to take place this evening 17th of January has been cancelled. The club has received excellent financial support from our main sponsor Corrib Oil, our other subsidiary sponsors and supporters. However, at today’s closing date for entries, only 60 entries have been received with many unpaid. At the current level of entries, the event is facing a significant substantial loss of money. The club are appealing to all current entrants to pay their entry fee by close of business on Monday the 20th of January. The event requires an additional 40 + entries also to be paid up by Monday next to avoid the event being cancelled. A further release will be issued on Monday evening the 20th of January.
