The proceeds will go to the Integrated Education Fund for Northern Ireland and the SKIDZ charity. The Paddy Hopkirk Gala has been organised to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Paddy’s legendary victory on the gruelling Monte Carlo Rally, and will be attended by such luminaries as Ari Vatanen, Jimmy McRae, Kris Meeke, Rosemary Smith and many others. The event will kick off with a Mini cavalcade from Stormont to Titanic Belfast, followed by an autograph session and autotest display. That evening will see the gala dinner take place to pay tribute to Paddy. Photo by Esler Crawford.
