What a weekend it was in Killarney as Hugh’s Rallying travelled to the legendary Rally of the Lakes 2026 to experience one of the biggest and most exciting events in Irish motorsport.
From the ceremonial start in the heart of Killarney to the iconic stages around Molls Gap and Ballaghbeama, the atmosphere across the weekend was absolutely incredible. Thousands of rally fans lined the stages while some of the best drivers in Ireland battled it out across the demanding Kerry roads.
Hugh’s Rallying was there all weekend capturing the action, meeting drivers and teams, and bringing rally fans photos and videos from one of Ireland’s most famous rallies.
A huge congratulations goes to Callum Devine and Noel O’Sullivan who claimed overall victory in their Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 with an impressive winning time of 1:26:58.9 after a fantastic drive throughout the weekend.
