Genie's new mount.

Eugene Donnelly has bought a Fabia.
The car that Jan Kopecky brought home to the top privateers finish in Corsica at the weekend.

I look forward to seeing him in it on the stages next year.

He will be debuting the car at the Fastnet rally next weekend

Have a look at World rallying, RI entry thread to see pic of car is going to use.Sorry cant cut and paste.

[ITC55]

Pretty sure its not Kopecky's car, he may have a little bit of advice from Kopecky though, but the car he has bought belongs to Eric Weavers

Thanks, decent first run for Donnelly in the Fabia. Hope he will use BFGoodrich on rally Ireland though?

[ste898]

Why would he use 2nd rate tyres when he is used to Kumho after Toyota days where they did fantastic job!!!

oh sorry didnt see last post... please edit

[Donney]

Best of luck to him, I can't wait to see him flying in RI.

[Mihai]

I'd say Genie is 99% a Top 8 finisher in Rally Ireland. I expect a couple of Top 5 stage times too. :up:

[Elgin Man]

Best of Luck to him :) With the Fabia Eugene will be the underdog that where he loves to be.

Best of Luck to him and Paul in Rally Ireland

How did he do and any pictures?

[Bazza2541]

Ermmmmm..................Well, lets just say that he done as well as Gronholm and leave it at that. ;-)

Thanks but his time on stage 2 was very bad and I can see him on superrally from on stage 3...

[Simmi]

I was gutted when he didn't come through stage 3. Well technically he did but it was at crawling pace behind the trailers. What is he planning for next year does anyone know?

[witto6]

Reid Transport gone bust today, wonder if this will efect Gennie?

[MadCat]

Wont effect Genie that much I dont think because Reid dont own the Skoda as they sold the Subaru to DMG.

Apart from carrying the name on the car until close of season they werent due to sponsor him in 2008 were they? Think he's going back to being an independant team again?

[Simmi]

It's seemed like he's been on the back foot a bit this season. Maybe without the influence of Reid he can get back to his previous imperious form.

[Elgin Man]

Yeh I think the deal was only for 2007 so he could finish the ITRC and enter Rally Ireland.
