Higgins wins Manx Rally comfortably

Manx born Mark Higgins and co-driver Craig Thorley have won the Manx International Rally by a comfortable margin of four minutes and 43.8 seconds.

Irish duo, Andrew Nesbitt/James O’Brien, in their Cuisine de France Subaru Ireland WRC, were second with Jonny Milner/Nicky Beech (Toyota Corolla WRC) third after gearbox problems saw them drop off the pace of the winners.
