Forde wins Munster Autocross Championship

With just his second outright win of the season, Tipperary’s, David Forde (Toyota Special) maintained his lead in the Jerry Murphy R and R Tyres Munster Autocross Championship at a cold Ballynacorra, Midleton yesterday.

The Nenagh driver was a fraction of a second quicker than his one and only title rival, Ballyvourney’s Gerard Lucey, also in a Toyota Special at the penultimate round organised by the Munster Car Club.

Both drivers completed just one of the three timed runs and opted to wait for a title decider on today’s final round in Grancore, Clonakilty, where Forde and Lucey will battle in a winner-takes-all scenario.
