Coleman leads by 8.5sec after SS1
We’re starting to see the times coming through fro SS1, and it seems that Casey Jay Coleman Rallying are putting the hammer down and have a 8.5 sec lead out of Daniel Cronin. despite the damp conditions, none of the cars seem to be holding back and if there’s any drying in the day at all, we could see them go quicker. Ryan McHugh is in 3rd, but only just, John Warren is a mere 0.6sec behind. You could wonder if there wasn’t electronic timing, could we see that difference. Simon Reid is 9.7sec further bac in 5th, with gaps either side of 3sec back from 6th to 10th with Chris Armstrong, Adrian Hetherington, James Bradley, Jack Brennan & Brian Bolger rounding out the top 10. Tomas O’Rourke is in 11th, he’ll probably want to improve on that as the day goes on.
What we have so far.
