A weekend long battle between Frank Meagher and Austin McHale went all the way on the 1995 Irish Tarmac Rally Championship opener, with the balance tipping in Frank's favour on the final stage. It was to be the start of the most successful season of the Tipperary driver's career.

The brainchild of Alec Poole and Fred Gallagher, the Tour Brittania was born as a recreation of the old Tour of Britain which was a mixture of rallying and circuit racing.

RPM travelled to Birmingham for the Autosport International Show to get all the latest gossip ahead of the 1995 season.

Alister McRae and Freddy Loix were the guest stars for the Punchestown Rally Experience in 2004. Celebrities like Ken Doherty, Brian O'Driscoll and Shane Horgan got passenger runs in the hot seat while the event ran a novel super special format and at the end of the day it was Andrew Nesbitt who emerged victorious.

A trio of Group A Subaru Imprezas battled it out on this event with Derek McGarrity having to contend with the recently crowned British National Rally Champion Kenny McKinstry and former Belgian and European Rally Champion, Patrick Snijers. McKinstry proved unstoppable, taking a comfortable win ahead of McGarrity as Snijers slipped off the road. A third place finish for Denis Biggerstaff was enough to secure the 1999 Northern Ireland Rally Championship in his Metro 6R4.

Trevor Moore took the spoils as the Escort Cosworth driver outpaced the Northern Ireland Championship regulars in the Derry forests.

Andrew Nesbitt was joined by motorsport journalist Sammy Hamill for a one off outing as they claimed victory in St. Columb's Park, edging out James Cullen by 10 seconds.
