BOY racers blocked off a section of the main Cork to Killarney road around Glenflesk for about half an hour on Saturday night, as other young drivers performed various stunts in modified cars.

Meath’s Tim McNulty and co-driver Anthony Nestor gave a faultless display in their Subaru WRC today en-route to a first ever victory in the Ordnance Survey Ireland/Gleneagle Hotel Killarney International Rally of the Lakes.

WITH their home event just a week away, Irish drivers, Colin Turkington and Gavin Smith will be hoping to improve their current positions within the British Touring Car Championship in Sunday’s three rounds at Croft.

UP to 25 people were arrested in Killarney, Co Kerry, over the weekend for public order offences.

IDENTIFYING each other as their principal rival, Dermot Kelly and John McCarthy have justified the decision of the organisers to seed them in the top two positions for Sunday’s Mitchelstown-based Sean Conlon Memorial Tipperary Forest Rally — the second round of the KBB Doors National Forest Rally Championship.

A commanding performance laced with fastest times on all of today’s nine stages gave Andrew Nesbitt and James O’Brien their first victory in the International Rally of the Lakes, round two of the Toshiba Computers Irish Tarmac Championship.

Killarney will play host to Ireland's leading drivers on May 4 and 5, when the International Rally of the Lakes returns to the sporting calendar, after a year's absence due to the foot-and-mouth scare.
