Horgan Motorsport was launched in 2006 to secure Sponsorship
in an attempt to get some of the big name drivers back into
the WRC on a full time basis. Drivers such as Colin McRae,
Gigi Gali, Toni Gardemeister, Harri Rovanpera, Kris Meeke,
Guy Wilks, Xavier Pons Etc Etc.
In our endeavours we have discussed programmes with Prodrive,
who run the Subaru World Rally Team, M-Sport who run the Ford
World Rally Team, along with Stobart and Munchies. We also
spoke with Kronos who ran the Team for Citroen during 2006
when Sebastian Leob won his third WRC Title. Horgan Motorsport
believe that with the right level of Sponsorship we can produce
one of the highest profile Teams in the World and give the
Factory Teams a run for their money.
Our interest in rallying dates back to the 1970's with local
Rally Team Kiely Brothers in Mallow Co. Cork then to Ger Buckley
of E.P.S. Ltd. Driving an Escort RS2000, Vauxhall Chevette
and also the Ascona 400 and Opel Manta. We also took an active
interest in the 80's with drivers such as Billy Coleman, Jimmy
McRae, Russell Brooks and Pentti Airikkala. In the 90's it
was Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Tommi Makinen and Carlos Sainz.
It was this passion for the Sport that fuelled our interest
in putting a Team together.
During 2007/8 we have been actively searching for
Sponsorship in order to take this programme forward.
