McGarrity forges clear in Ulster Rally
McGarrity punched in the best times on the opening loop and led McNulty by 18.4secs at the Antrim service halt. Gass, in third, was followed by Midleton’s, Daragh O’Riordan (Subaru WRC), who selected an intermediate tyre when slicks transpired to be the better option.
McNulty took a gamble on tyre choice on the first two stages of the repeat loop and he cut the deficit to just 2.2secs — although McGarrity stalled on the start line of SS4. On last night’s final stage, McNulty made a slight error — but it cost him dear — as he slipped almost 20 seconds off the lead.
