Round 5: Tyrone Stages Rally, 25 July

Peader Hurson took his first win of the championship leading from start to finish in his S10 Impreza.

The second placed battle of the 2.5 litre MK2 Escort’s was epic, with Frank Kelly victorious by just over three seconds from Camillus Bradley.

In a fine fourth on his debut in an R2 208 Peugeot was Killarney’s Rob Duggan, further extending his advantage in the Carryduff Forklift R2 Wales series. He was engaged in a day long battle with Jon Armstrong, the pair separated by 0.1 seconds at service, until Jon slid off and got stuck close to the finish. The Citroen C2’s of Alan Smyth and Kyle White took second and third in the R2 class.
