REIGNING Intercontinental Rally champions, Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle in their Peugeot 207 S2000 are sixth overall after the opening leg of three stages of the Sata Rallye Acores, the seventh round of the series.

FROM a season where little went wrong, culminating with victory in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge for Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle, the current defence of their crown is proving almost the total opposite.

One of the most famous events in Irish motorsport, the Circuit of Ireland Rally, has a new sponsor.

Having re-fettled his S12B Subaru WRC following a crash on the Rally of the Lakes, Derry driver, Kevin Lynch took a comfortable victory in today’s ALMC Rally in Gormanstown, County Meath.
