Motorsport: McHale's car fails to pass

Top Irish rally star, Austin McHale was prevented from starting the Network Q Rally of Great Britain last evening when his car failed to pass pre-event scrutiny in Cardiff.

McHale and his co-driver, Brian Murphy were eagerly awaiting participating in this, the final and deciding round of the World Rally Championship, however, as they didn’t have the necessary homologation papers concerning the steering rack of their Toyota Ireland Corolla WRC, they couldn't start the rally.
