Just heard the sad news RIP Esler He was always such a friendly man, despite being a complete stranger, he made time for me the first time I met him, once he knew you were a rally fan he'd always stop for a chat. 📷 by Pamela Ballantine & Molls Gap from years ago by #EslerCrawford

Those 25 years passed by so fast, sad that Mickey is no longer with us. I prefer to remember the good times, the happier times, and the way he'd greet ye after a rally, "what were we like out there", always with that big smile across his face. Like Adrian said "Simply the Best"

629 days since I last filmed the Mayo Motorsport Club #Rally back in 2020, so I guess there's no where better to get back to #Irish #motorsport than the KDMC #Historics

And, after waiting two long years for this weekend, we're all finally back for Rnd1 of the Irish Tarmac C'ship #Rally Championship. Best of luck to all the volunteers in Galway Motor Club running the 2022 Galway INT Rally and to all competitors, marshals and media, have a safe one

Chicanes or "movable structures" are not popular in #rallying or any form of #motorsport, some say they're a necessary evil, which impact results, as can be seen towards the end this short video from the 2022 Mayo Motorsport Club #Rally, won by Josh Moffett youtube.com/watch?v=AUKOmj…

Without a doubt, this #Lancia #Delta #Integrale has to be the coolest car I've seen so far at KDMC 😍😍😍 Forget all the #bapbap #bangbang #boyracers, this #rally #legend sitting still, complete with rare #turbofan brake cooling discs is better than anything else here

#OnThisDay 48years ago a car bomb killed 7 innocent people in #Monaghan.Justice Henry Barrons 2003 inquiry criticised the #Garda investigation, saying investigators stopped work prematurely & the Fine Gael/The Labour Party Ireland government of the day 4 inaction & lack of interest in the bombing

Ten years ago today, Irish Motorsport lost a genuine rally fanatic, a big fan of Vauxhall/Opel cars, a great photographer and a really good friend to everyone he meet over many years following rallies all over Ireland. We all miss that smile and laugh. Rest in Peace Joe Lane...

I couldn't let today pass without remembering a dearly departed friend this morning, before we head out for the start of the 2022 LMC_CircuitOfMunsterRally Rally. This was Mickeys last rally start, in 1996. Rest in Peace Mickey Farrell "Simply the Best" 📸 by Adrian Crawley @ArdeeSnapper

Hey Tommy Bowe & @MuireannO_C, can you find out who in Ireland AM doesn't support the mighty Leeds United, or should that be "Leads United"... #IrlAM

After a short break from #rallying, I'd a great day yesterday filming the Bluebird Care IE sponsored #GalwaySummer #Rally, with much valued help from Gerard Rooney Galway Rally Won by Gareth Machale & Brian Murphy in their #VW #Polo #R5 youtube.com/watch?v=9TGMb3… #IrishMotorsport
