Armagh’s Andrew Nesbitt (Subaru WRC) took his second victory in the Punchestown Rally Experience when he finished almost seven seconds ahead of another former winner, Austin MacHale (Ford Focus WRC).

THE MOONRAKER Rally, an event steeped in tradition, marks a beginning of an era for the Munster Car Club, the rally section of the now technically disbanded Munster Motor Cycle and Car Club, one of the oldest clubs in the sport that originally catered for four different aspects of motorsport.

Colin McRae dominated the Punchestown Rally Experience and at the end of the six timed runs, he had 14 seconds to spare over Irish Tarmac champions, Andrew Nesbitt/James O’Brien (Subaru WRC).
