“This has been a fantastic event from start to finish” he
said. “We’ve seen and experienced all sorts of weather and
terrain and the spirit of friendly competition throughout
has been exceptional”. Reflecting on the Carrera concept
Mark then went on to say “I’d like to thank Fred for this
style of event and I’m looking forward to seeing what he
comes up with in the future”. “Now my attention turns to
2022 and the ambitious program we’ve set out, kicking off
with the Generations Rally in March”.
Wrapping up the evening, Fred Gallagher said that he was
delighted with this event. It had been a long time in the
planning and there had been many logistical difficulties,
such as obtaining 574 individual permits to run the event,
booking hotels under the shadow of Covid and planning
a route with travel restrictions constantly changing.
Naturally he thanked his old friend Ari for turning up and
making the evening so special.
