In December 2007 a group of Keith Cronin fans got together and formed the Cronin Motorsport Supporters Club. The aim of the club is to generate funds in order to support the Rallying career of this very rapid young driver.
Funds are generated primarily through membership subscriptions but members of the club also run other fundraising events throughout the year. The Club contributed approximately half of the budget that saw him take the 2009 British Rally Championship.
Club members receive text updates approximately every 2-3 stages when the team are competing on events. Additionally, all members are entered into an end of year draw.
The top prize in the draw is to co-drive for Keith at an end of year event.
In 2008 and 2009 the draw winners competed on Kerry Mini Stages Rally and on both occasions went on to win the event, despite the fact that neither of them had any rally experience.
 
Pictured above are the top prize winners in 2008 & 2009 who both went on to win the Kerry Mini Stages with Keith at the helm!
Benefits of membership
Members will be entered into a number of draws during the year and winners in these draws can sit in with Keith when he is testing the car prior to events (In 2008 eighteen members enjoyed this thrill on various test days).
Members will be able to have the benefit of travelling with the team to events if they wish.
Testimonials
Comments from some of the people that had the thrill of a test spin in 2008/9
“Awesome”
“Without doubt the best €50 I ever spent!”

Benefits for Cronin Motorsport
Rallying is an expensive sport! This ensures that it is not always the drivers with the most talent that are successful, as the cost of maintaining a competitive rally car can be prohibitive. By joining Cronin Motorsport Supporters Club you will be helping to fund the rallying of a young man that has the potential to reach the very pinnacle of the sport, given the chance.
In 2009 he wonthe British Rally Championship, a feat previously achieved by an Irishman in 1974, when the legendary Billy Coleman became Champion. In 2010 it is hoped that in addition to defending his BRC title he will compete on selected WRC and IRC events.
