Statement from Laois Rallysport Club regarding the Acesigns 10th Laois Heartlands
Rally 2020.
At this time, Laois Rallysport Club's thoughts are with the community of Residents, Officials,
Marshals, Competitors and Medical professionals that have been part of the successful Laois
Heartlands Rally since 2011.
The Clerk of the course Louis Garry and his committee have been following closely, fully
endorse and support the measures that have been put in place nationally by the Government
and Motorsport Ireland at this time to prevent the spread of COVID 19 (Coronavirus).
Following the recent government announcement that the current measures to limit the
spread of the virus will be extended for a further Three weeks. The decision has been taken
to postpone the planned running of the Laois Heartlands Rally from the 7th June until a later
date in the year.
This decision is taken to ensure the safety of the residents along the route, the committed
team of club members and volunteers from our neighbouring clubs who together ensure the
successful running of the event every year.
Laois Rallysport Club wishes all residents of the stages and the wider family of supporters of
the Laois Heartlands Rally from all over the country and internationally to take care of
themselves and their families at this time.
We also would like to recognise the huge contribution that the medical personnel who work
with the club to ensure the safe running of the rally every year are currently making to protect
our communities at present and look forward to seeing everybody in Laois for the 10th
running of the Rally as soon as it is safe for all.
Yours in Motorsport,
Sean McEvoy
Chairman,
Laois Rallysport Club.
