Given the number of Wexford competitors in Rallies (and rally sprints) across the country and beyond, Wexford Motor Club will be publishing a monthly round up to acknowledge these competitors and their achievements. In our first round up, we are taking a look back at November 2021. While there were not many events, we still…
New Ross played host to the 2021 Wexford Volkswagen Stages Rally last weekend and what an entertaining weekend of Motorsport it turned out to be. The competitors started arriving at the Albatros Facility from early on Saturday Morning and headed out to familiarise themselves with the Shakedown and 2 Special Stages which had been set…
Now that the dust has settled, we can confirm that Josh Moffett in the Hyundai i20 has taken the win by 29.7″ from Meirion Evans in the VW Polo GTi R5. Possibly it would had a bit of irony if the result had been reversed given the event sponsor. Moffett decided he had other ideas…
Firstly our guess that James Stafford may have got to 2nd on SS4 was right but he has dropped to 3rd after SS5 where he was 3.6″ slower than Enda O’Brien, who in turn has got into 2nd by a margin of 2.1″, still a great performance by the top seed. Meirion Evans is in…
Once again we temper the results we show below with a mixture of what we can make out from talking to the crews here in service with what Leo & Andy are giving on the live feed from stage end of SS3 & 4. James Stafford is showing on the times as 7’55” for SS4,…
Using a mixture of what is coming up on our results screen and the live feed from Leo Nulty on the stage, we think it is tied at the top with half the rally done, and half to go. Josh Moffett has done a 5’57” on SS3 , with Meirion Evans posting a 6’03”. Here…
It seems to be that we now have times coming through and Evans is still leading but the big gain on SS2 is the defending champion, James Stafford. Evans has increased the lead to 3.3″ over Daniel Cronin with an identical difference back to Josh Moffett. James Stafford has now jumped up to 4th 20″…
You may have noticed that the time updates are a little slow being posted. We understand there are a few technical issues out on the course which we hope will be resolved and everything will come back up to speed as soon as possible
Meirion Evans has taken the early honours on the first pass through The Leap stage, having a 2″ advantage over Daniel Cronin, who in turn has 0.6″ to spare from Josh Moffett. There is just under 12″ gap to the next bunch of three, Steve Wood, David Kelly and Richard Moore, who for now is…
The leading cars are leaving Parc Ferme at the moment and making their way across the bridge in New Ross to head out to the start of the Donard stage , the first of six that they will eventually complete. The roads are quite damp at present, so it will be a very interesting ,…
