Mark Higgins was fastest on the final stage, Castlemagnier, of this Cork 20 Rally to provide a fitting finale to a great drive. Manx man Mark (now based in Wales) and his co driver, Letterkennys Rory Kennedy, are very worthy winners of the event in their McKinstry Motorsport Subaru Impreza. Their presence here was backed by FitzSamuel Insurance, as was Markko Martin and Guy Wilks. The 3 drivers provided a great bonus for the rally. It was just a great shame that Wilks retired, but thats the way of it in rallying. Rory Kennedy was the winner here in 1992 with the late Bertie Fisher. For British Champion Mark Higgins it is a maiden Cork 20 win and hopefully we will see him here again.
Mark Higgins commented here at the finish ramp: Im delighted for Dermot Hanafin and the FitzSamuel team to get first and second. Delighted as well for Kenny McKinstry, the car went great and the Pirelli tyres were a dream. Its a difficult rally, we had a very big moment today over shiny tar and it flashed into my mind that a rally is never over until its over. Markko Martin said: Id like to thank the team for giving me this chance to get back into a world rally car. I didnt expect it to be so difficult. Conditions were tough, it was hard to build up confidence, not easy to get the pace. I had a couple of wrong tyre choices and it was real easy to get caught out by something. I cant say it changes the way I think but still it was good to get back into a car and get used to the speed again. Eugene Donnelly told us: I hadnt a great start to the rally but I was fit to push harder today, I think I was fastest on one stage by 0.1 of a second, its good to know were there. These professional boys are in a league of their own in many ways. It was a shame about Guy Wilks. It was a good way for us to finish off the year, I think now its time to pension off the Corolla and push hard for a new car. Gareth Jones survived an excursion this morning to finish 4th in the rally and move into 3rd in the Pirelli C/Ship, relegating Derek McGarrity to 4th. Eugene Donnelly won of course with Eamonn Boland 2nd. Melvyn Evans 7th place moves him into the lead of the 023 Tiles C/ship.
Latest news on Andrew Nesbitt is that he has a back injury but it is not too serious.
James Foley had a brilliant group N win and his co driver Lisa Roe said We were on edge all the way, very difficult and young Keith Cronin was coming hard today. I was never on as exciting a rally. Roy White was 3rd gpN behind Keith Cronin and Colm Murphy was 4th which was good enough to win gpN in the Pirelli Championship. Following the broken drive shaft on Colms Impreza the team changed the diff as well but something went wrong with it on the last 2 stages. It was also the wrong ratio and Colm reckons he was barely moving at the end. If it had broken the car wouldnt have gone anywhere and the championship would have been lost. Roy Whites co driver Stephen McAuley said. Disappointed, but not disappointed. It was Colms to lose really we would have needed to have won gpN overall and Colm to have finished 5th.
so, yous have a good weekend?
