Dominant final run secures Carlow Rallysprint win for Wexford’s James
After three timed runs over the course that was a mix of gravel and tarmac surfaces, James amassed a 5.6-second winning margin over the similar Mitsubishi of Tipperary’s Liam Ryan. Keith Power (Renault Clio) was 18 seconds further adrift in third.
Former Irish National Forest Rally champion Ryan was quickest over the opening run, he held a 2.36-second advantage over James, with Power third. On the second run, James topped the time sheets to eke out a lead of just a tenth-of-a-second over Ryan, with Power retaining third from the Toyota Celica of John Somers.
