The rally now has its third leader since this morning, Paddy McVeigh has now taken up the mantle of leader having set a scorching time on the 3rd run on the Oldcourt test. He has now done this stage almost a full minute quicker than his first visit to the roads just west of Adamstown….

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…

Enda O’Brien still seems to be setting the times alight out on the stages with another fastest time on SS4 and now has a 12″ advantage over Steve Wood, who in turn has 11″ advantage over Paddy McVeigh. The gaps seem to be wider as we look further down the top 10, this seems to…

The first batch of times are hitting us from the Blackwater test, Wood and Barrett match times but the changes seem to be happening behind them. Stephen McCann has gone ahead of Gary Kiernan into 3rd, McCann setting the fastest time here, and so far, we don’t have a time for Richard Moore. Liam Howlett…
