We are also delighted to announce that Wastewater Solutions are continuing to support the event
as title sponsors. Wastewater Solutions Managing Director, Philip Johnston, commented ” I am
extremely pleased to see the Circuit back and look forward to working with the team to provide
another Easter Classic; who knows I might even compete this time!!”


Clerk of the Course, Nigel Hughes, stated ” We are very grateful to Philip for his continued support.
We have been working hard during our enforced respite to come up with a plan for the rally that will
appeal to competitors, spectators and fans. We are also very conscious that Covid remains as a
threat to our population and hopefully the route for 2022 reflects our thinking whilst endeavouring to
keep the public safe”.


The Wastewater Solutions Circuit of Ireland International Rally will be the First round of the FIA
Celtic Rally Trophy and the third round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. The action focuses
on the North West corner of Northern Ireland and the 12 stages will provide competitors with fast
flowing and technical challenges on both days.


Event Headquarters in Carey Cleaning Machines will be beside the service area in the Livestock
Market in Ballymena helping to reduce the road mileage for competitors and facilitating easy access
for spectators.


Entries will open at 8:00 p.m. on 7th March 2022 via rallyscore at www.rallyscore.net and
regulations will be available from the event website www.circuitofireland.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you out there and welcome the ‘Circuit’ back in style!!
