Donnelly leads Rally of the Lakes

Even though he was some 20 seconds adrift after the opening stage of the Ordnance Survey/Gleneagle Hotel Rally of the Lakes, Eugene Donnelly, in his Subaru WRC has moved into the lead after eight of today’s eleven stages.

Local Killarney driver, Donie O’Sullivan, in a hired McKinstry Subaru WRC, was the sensation of stage one, Moll’s Gap where he took an early five second advantage over the Subaru of Austin MacHale with Derek McGarrity third, a mere second behind.
