Nesbitt heading for victory in Jim Clark rally

With three stages remaining, Andrew Nesbitt/James O’Brien (Subaru Impreza WRC) are heading for a hat trick of wins on the Jim Clark Rally in Scotland, a counting round of both the Irish and British Pirelli Rally championships.

A puncture on SS 19, Blackadder, has effectively ended the challenge of Eugene Donnelly/Paul Kiely, who are now over a minute adrift with the Subaru of Derek McGarrity/Dermot O’Gorman in third place.
