Michael Boyle is really taking the rally by the scruff of the neck now, he’s taken a huge 5.7s out of the lead, the gap now is down to 1.5s, what will happen first thing in the morning is hard to tell. Declan Boyle, while not matching Michael’s time is now matching the leader stage…
Well how’s about this. When it looked quite comfortable for Eddie Doherty, over the last two stages, it is looking far from that. Declan Boyle is still in 3rd, but has also taken a massive 5.2s out of the leader on the penultimate test off the day, the gap is now down to 9.5s, maybe…
Eddie Doherty has increased the lead to 12.7s from Michael Boyle, but the news here is that top seed, Declan Boyle has taken 3.6s from Michael, and 0.9s from the leader. At this rate, 2nd & 3rd look almost certain to swap either on SS8 or 9, the gap is only 2.0s. I can’t see…
While we have a breather, here are what the class positions look like from what’s in the system. Bear in mind there might be the odd car showing in the wrong class, such as car 89, which is showing in class 5, but should be in class 14. By the way, that car is the…
The lead Eddie Doherty now has in the rally is 9.9s over Michael Boyle, who now must be looking very nervously over his shoulder for “the ould fella”. Declan took quite a sizeable 4.9s out of Michael on SS6 and as good as matched Doherty’s time, only 0.2s slower. Would it beyond the bounds of…
Eddie Doherty is now leading the rally by 4.8s having set the fastest time on the Ballycullane stage. Michael Boyle’s cause is not being helped either by his Father, Declan, taking a further 1.1s out of the gap to 2nd place. The gap between the two is 10.6s, which Declan must reckon is catchable, but…
On the second pass through Saltmills, Eddie Doherty has extended his lead from Michael Boyle to 3.2s. Albeit by small margins Declan Boyle has taken almost 2s out of Michael, setting the fastest stage time into the bargain. James Stafford seems to have found his feet as well with the 5th fastest stage time and…
