Yes Donnely stufed his new S 12 on the penultimate stage but up to that point there was no one able to live with him (apart from Gronholm of Course!).
The rest of the Irish pack will have to seriously up their pace to catch him this year. On the international rallies Mark Higgins would keep him honest though. It's going to be a great year for Irish Rallying, maybe the best ever although I thought crowd control was a bit crap in Galway compared to say Killarney and that wouldn't look well for the WRC organizers unless they have it ironed out by November.
