Everything had been quiet so far at www.rallyofthelakes.com about the 2010 event. But on the very same day as I posted the opener to this blog, the organisers published their first news item of the 2010 event which was to advise that competitor entries close in the second week of April.
There will be a more compact route than usual to try and keep mileage and hence costs down a bit, with 14 stages using many of the same roads twice. So 3 dual run stages + 1 single run stage on Saturday then the same format on Sunday. HQ at the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney. A very short article in this week's UK Motorsport News mentioning that for only the 3rd time in the event's 31 years, Moll's Gap won't be the opening stage. It will the single run stage on Saturday at 18:30. The other stages on the first day will be around the Cork / Kerry border. Service at Millstreet. Sunday is based around mid-Kerry and includes Carragh Lake and the single day ending stage will be near Kilcummin.
Compact means no more than 30 minutes driving from event HQ in Killarney.
Entries will be published on 20th April - it will be interesting to see how much effect the recession has had on the number of competitors for the usually very popular event.
