Motorsport: McGurk set the pace in Carrick on Suir

Robbie McGurk, from Omagh, driving a Group N Subaru, has set a cracking pace on the Willie Loughman Forest Rally.

Based in Carrick Suir, the event, the second round of the KBB Doors National Forest Championship, has a quality entry with McGurk, surprising the more powerful cars with his pace. Co-driven by Rory Kennedy, they took an early three second lead and by the first service halt, were pegged back to a single second by the Escort WRC of Dominic McNeill.
