Purcell a huge threat to Murphy and Reid

TOMORROW’S second round of the Valvoline Irish Forest Rally Championship, the Willie Loughman Carrick-on-Suir Rally features the participants that served up a cracking tussle on the opening round in Mitchelstown a few weeks ago.

The format of tomorrow’s event, where the three stages in the afternoon are repeated in the evening, illustrates a desire by the organisers to freshen up the series.

The first stage begins at 3pm with the winning ramp celebrations scheduled for 8.10pm.
