Liam McIntyre and Kyle McBride celebrate in Wales back in October
Donegal rally driver Kyle McBride will move into the Stellantis Cup after a confidence-boosting Junior BRC campaign over the last few years.
Honing his skills on the asphalt and gravel, McBride has progressed rapidly in recent times and will undoubtedly be a front-runner this season.
McBride will also compete in the Junior European Rally Championship later this year too.
The Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy member has acquired a Peugeot 208 Rally4 for the six-round campaign which starts at Rally Hungary in April.
The 20-year-old Carndonagh man is keen to build on his progress after finishing a close second in last year’s Junior British Rally Championship in only his second year in Rally4 machinery.
The Academy which McBride is a member of was established in 2019 to provide promising young drivers with a pathway from the junior rallying ranks through to competing at World Rally Championship (WRC) level.
Those eligible to enter the high-performance academy were chosen from the Billy Coleman Award nominees.
Drivers and navigators who are part of the Academy will undergo a rigorous training programme to develop their skills and discipline and move them up through the various competitive classes in Irish rallying through to the highest levels of the sport internationally.
