Willie Coyne clinches Irish Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park title at Mondello

Dubliner Willie Coyne (Vauxhall Nova) emulated brother Noel by clinching the McLoughlin’s Industrial Flooring Irish Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park yesterday.

Coyne was the pre-event favourite and having won two heats earlier in the day he was well on course to follow his brother, who won the title in 2009.

Even though his Vauxhall Nova developed driveshaft trouble on the third heat and he failed to finish, Coyne’s double heat feat gave him pole position for the Modified final.
