Andrew Purcell has stretched out the lead again on SS5, as he did on the first loop. James Stafford reckoned this particular stage doesn’t suit his car well but the last stage of the loop does so we can possibly see the gap shorten again.Richard Moffett has Gary Kiernan taking more time out of him…
The first three cars were literally separated by the blink of an eye on SS4, James Stafford was 0.2″ quicker than Andrew Purcell, who in turn was 0.8″ quicker than Gary Kiernan, time that close it would only be separated by the proverbial cigarette paper. If anyone tells you that this is not entertaining, send…
James Stafford seems to have found a new gear in the Darrian, or Jeff Case has put poitÃn in the fuel tank, as he set a blistering fastest time on SS3, 5.2″ faster than Andrew Purcell, bringing the deficit down to just over 6″. It has also moved him back in front of Richard Moffett…
Andrew Purcell has pushed his advantage out even further on SS2, now leading by 5.9″ from Richard Moffett, who in turn has moved ahead of James Stafford in 2nd, the latter only posting 4th fastest time on SS2, trouble with the car or what, we don’t know, we will try find out after the next…

The leading cars have just left service and are just starting SS1 in Clohamon. James Stafford d will be trying to become the first Irish winner since 2013, ironically he was that last Irish winner. He seemed in relaxed yet focused mind as he made his way out, hoping the stages will stay dry. It…
Just a quick update, at the end of SS14, the gap has held at roughly 42″, barring a disaster it looks like we have a three time winner in Steve Wood. Can’t seem to see Leon Galvin yet but Richard Moore is set for 5th, leading Wexford driver home. Results we have so far O/A…
Steve Wood is closing in fast on a hat trick with over 40 seconds of a cushion over Meirion Evans, with John Dalton making it an all Welsh podium looking very likely in a couple of hours back at rally HQ. Tomas Davies has gone out of the rally on the fourth stage of the…
With not much more than the top 10 times from SS12 in yet, it is looking very good for the hat trick for Steve Wood. He managed to ease off a small bit on the second run around Boolaboy where the gap reduced by just over 11 seconds, but last time around when the cars…
