CO DONEGAL rally driver Toni Kelly is to be the new face of motorsport on UTV as RPM returns with a special preview of the Circuit of Ireland rally tonight.
Letterkenny woman Toni will join Karen Feeney in presenting the show.
Toni competed at international level and runs her own driving school in Donegal. She will be presenting the RPM Motorsport shows on UTV.
Said the rally driver: “Presenting RPM is a great way to be involved with rallying without being in a rally car. It is a huge honour to present the show as I have grown up watching RPM.”
Karen Feeney from Galway is a part-time instructor at the Mondello Park Racing School in Naas. She has worked as an instructor at the Silverstone Rally school and rallies herself from time to time. Karen will present the RPM Superbike shows on UTV this Spring.
Karen added: “I am really looking forward to presenting the new RPM superbike season on UTV with lots of new faces as well as many familiar faces on the show. I have been watching RPM for as long as I can remember and it is now great to be part of the team.”
Michael Wilson, Managing Director UTV Television said: “RPM is one of UTV’s wide portfolio of regional programmes and we are delighted to welcome Karen and Toni as new talent on our screens in this exciting year of local programming on UTV.”
RPM airs on UTV starting today, Thursday March 29th at 11.05pm with Toni Kelly presenting.
