Maps are now online for Saturday and Sunday.

Day one on Saturday will see four stages on the northernmost section of the Hook peninsula - stage one sets the ball rolling, starting in Clongeen, finishing in the Milltown area of Ballycullane.

The second stage begins just across the road in Shielbaggin, concluding in Dunmain. A quick trek cross-country is needed ahead of the third stage start, bringing the field south from Ballinteskin, round John F Kennedy Park, back up to Ballybrazill.

The final stage of the four has an Oaklands start, just south of New Ross, withh almost a complete circle to be completed, before finishing at Arnottstown.

Saturday's service area is on the main N25 Wexford-Waterford road, stretching from the bottom of Begerrin Hill through Ballinaboola to Carrigadaggin.

The drivers will repeat this loop once more before the overnight halt.

Sunday's action will begin on Stage Nine, which starts on Tanner Hill outside Killinick. The route heads close to Mayglass, before turning north at Glebe, heading for Murrintown. The course then swings south at Ablintown through Gardamus Cross, finishing at Harpoonstown, just north of Bridgetown.

Rathangan hosts the start of the tenth stage. It sees a series of east and west traverses via Duncormick, Rochsestown, Graiguesallagh, Scar, Holman Hill, Levitstown, concluding at Edwardstown.

Sunday's third stage starts in Ardinagh, heads north to Traceystown, before veering north-east to Coolataggart, just outside Taghmon.

A sharp west turn brings the route over to Rourke's Cross, before a similarly sharp eastern turn sees the course run parallel to the previous part of the stage, through Tottenhamgreen and Hillburn, before its climax at Clooneranne, on the edge of Taghmon village.

The final test sees the cars start at Ballyhurst, just outside Trinity, heading north-west towards Taghmon once more, with a sharp east turn at Ballintarton meandering the field uphill through Furlongstown and Knockbroad.

A long downhill run continues through Coolstuff, Ballintlea and Kingsford, before a southward stretch, skirting round Forth Mountain, traversing through Bargy Commons and Forth Commons.

The latter end of this stage will be well-known to rally enthusiasts, as it used to be the first section of the old mountain stage, containing the very famous hairpin and humpback bridge combination just north of the Hedgeshire Cross on the New Line.

Just to jog people's memories, the last time that mountain stage as run in 1990, two Wexford drivers by the names of David James and John Joe Sinnott recorded the fastest times over that particular route, leaving the likes of Geoff Kitney, John Price and a new boy on the scene, Stephen Murphy, trailing in the pair's wake.

Further details on the best vantage points over the weekend will follow in further reports.
