Irish duo extend rally championship lead

Fifth place on the Rali Vinho Madeira, round seven of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, has seen the Irish crew of Kris Meeke (Dungannon) and Paul Nagle (Killarney) move into a five point lead in the championship.

Just like they did yesterday, Meeke/Nagle punched in one fastest time and managed to keep Belgian ace Freddy Loix at bay.
