Two Donegal rally aces are preparing themselves for the to the Renties Ypres Rally in Belgium on Friday ahead of a busy weekend. 

Letterkenny’s Marty Gallagher and Convoy’s Dean O’Sullivan are set to compete in one of the most iconic rallies in the world when they set off in the first nine stages of the Ypres Rally.

The Belgian event is one of the most iconic rallies in the world and the legendary asphalt lanes in the Flanders region are some of the most challenging stages in premier rally series this year.

The summer spectacular will start on Friday afternoon in the heart of Ypres, with the crews being waved off under the shadow of the impressive Cloth Hall in the Grote Market Square.

The Donegal men showed their class on Friday as they paid their respects to the late Manus Kelly by placing a tribute to the three-time Donegal International Rallying champion on their car.

Fellow Irish driver, Craig Breen also paid tribute to the Glenswilly hero.

Breen, who will drive an R5 VW Polo for the first time, is not championship contender but is keen to take on some of Europe’s best drivers.
