Hunter wins exciting ALMC Rally battle with Jennings

The British crew of Hugh Hunter/Andy Marchbank (Subaru WRC) roared to victory in the Trim-based ALMC Rally, round four of the REIS MSA Asphalt Rally Championship.

They finished 54 seconds ahead of both Damian Cole/Elliott Edmondson (Ford Focus WRC) and London-based Cork driver Michael O’Brien and his north Cork co-driver James O’Brien, also in a Ford Focus WRC, who lost second by virtue of a tie-break.

On the opening stage Hunter was seven seconds ahead of fellow Subaru duo Garry Jennings and Steve Simpson, who shared second spot and were followed by the Ford Focus WRC duo of Damien Cole and Michael O’Brien.
