Lucey set for second title

VICTORY in yesterday’s Munster Motor Cycle and Car Club Loose Surface Autocross in Brinny, the penultimate round of the Maxsport Munster Autocross Championship, has virtually assured Gerard Lucey his second title in succession.

The Ballyvourney driver was afforded the luxury of being able to sit out the fourth and final run as his rivals failed to beat his fastest time, set on the third run of the afternoon.

His championship rival, Richard Percy, also in a Special, was well off the pace some six seconds adrift as he trailed his brother, Richard, by less than a second.
