After a quiet month in January, the Rally season kicked fully into swing in February. Local crews were out in force from the start with a strong Wexford presence in Galway and again in the Killarney Forestry. This was matched by a strong team of officials, organisers and Marshalls helping to run both events also….
With no rallies in December, competitors were limited to rally sprints. But the 2 sprints in Mondello and Cork had lots of Wexford men and women out, with plenty of big results too. First up was the annual Carlow Rally Sprint in Mondello. Plenty of Wexford competitors made the trip up to Kildare between Christmas…
As many will have noticed, the November rally round up didn’t include the Wexford Rallysprint held on the old Albatros site. Given the fantastic results of Wexford competitors, we thought it best to give the event a round up of its own. In the overall standings, top Wexford club member was the Kilkenny based Brendan…
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″…
