With the National Rally Championship returning after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic the series is delighted to announce that previous sponsor Triton Showers has agreed to underpin the eight-round championship for another four years.
Commenting on the company’s decision to renew its involvement with the series, Managing Director of Triton Showers, Kevin Barrett said: “Triton Showers are delighted to again add our support to the series. We are very aware that the past two years have been very tough on everybody. Sport plays an enormous part in the daily lives of Irish people and rallying was one of the many sports that were hit in the past while. The return of Gaelic games and other such sporting disciplines in recent weeks have already provided a great bounce and we know that rallying will do the same to its communities. Of course, we are mindful that Covid-19 hasn’t gone away, and we ask that everyone continues to adhere to the guidelines.”
In addition to the Triton Showers sponsorship, the series has also announced that Ritchie’s Mints and Projob Workwear will be associate sponsors of the series that opens in Mayo on March 6th and concludes in Donegal in early October.
Championship Chairman Declan Tumilty commented. “We are thrilled that Triton Showers are onboard again. Since they became involved in 2015, the series went from strength to strength evidenced by the fact that during their five-year tenure as title sponsors, there were five different champions. We are also delighted to welcome Ritchie’s Mints and Projob Workwear as associate sponsors of the series.”
Motorsport Ireland President Aiden Harper expressed his delight. He remarked; “This is a great endorsement of the national series and we look forward to continued success through our association with Triton Showers.”
