Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast

• Krunching Gears - In conversation with Gerry McGarrity, (part one).

  Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast, 2025 Season, episode 50. In conversation with Gerry McGarrity, part one. Gerry is known for his dedication, skill, and tenacity. Based in Fermanagh, he has spent decades earning respect as a rally driver, a motorsport preparation expert, and a mentor for young talent. Among the many drivers he guided, none felt his influence more strongly than Mark Fisher. Gerry played a quiet but significant role in shaping Mark’s early approach to the sport—helping to refine his technique, build his confidence, and instil the discipline that would eventually carry him onto the international stage. He has tutored young drivers all the way up to competing in the World Rally Championship, and Mark’s rise remains one of the clearest examples of Gerry’s ability to spot potential and nurture it with care. Whether he’s competing or working behind the scenes, Gerry truly represents the spirit of grassroots rallying.
