Eugene Donnelly will not contest next weekend’s Lurgan Park Rally

Eugene Donnelly has pulled out of next week's Turkington Lurgan Park Rally 2008 citing personal reasons in an official press release from rallynews.net. Donnelly had been expected to take part in his Skoda Fabia WRC and would have been competing against his brother Charlie who is entered in the Corolla WRC. This would have been the first time the two brothers would have competed against each other driving WRCars.

There will be a press conference on Monday where details of the full entry will be made, although the full entry list may not be made available as is usually only included in the event program.

Donnelly will not be doing Lurgan Park, with his Fabia pictured here with Derek McGeehan behind the wheel at Shackleton:
