Gallagher claims final point in Norway

IRISH driver, Shaun Gallagher picked up the final championship point on his debut in the Junior World Rally Championship that begun in Rally Norway at the weekend.

The former Billy Coleman Award winner had a difficult outing in his World Rally Team Ireland Citroen C2, however, he won his class (1500cc) and was the top WR rookie.

However, throughout the rally tyre choice was his major problem. Initially, he picked a tyre compound that was too soft and finished without any studs. Granted permission to change tyres, the handling capabilities of the C2 then proved erratic.
