Hundreds came out to witness this morning's seeing-off of the leading contendors from Rosslare's Crosbie Cedars Hotel, with thousands viewing the opening stage. Here are some of the main views of the morning, as captured by the lens of our man JD.
Liz Sinnott, General Manager of the Crosbie Cedars Hotel, and Donnacha Crosbie stand by to allow Tim McNulty away as leading car.
Meathman Tim McNulty in car 5, ready to thunder out and commence November's Wexford Single Stage Rally.
Sean McArdle of the Orchard County harversted a slender lead on the opening stage - can he hang on with so many ravenous Northerners chasing him?
County Down's finest, Peadar Hurson, enjoyed a successful opening stage - he was only a second off the pace set by Sean McArdle by stage's end.
Another man from the fair County Down, Maurice Gass lies third after the opening stage, and has a bit of work to do.....
TJ Crosbie is one of the many Wexford competitiors in action in the November Wexford Single Stage Rally - however, lying in the mid-twenties, he has a bit of ground to make up.
