This time, it was the County Meath-based ALMC Stages Rally – round six of the Irish Group N Mitsubishi series – where they came out on top after a dramatic final stage.
Starting and finishing from the City North Hotel near Drogheda, the rally followed a traditional one-day Irish rally format of three stages run three times, with a service halt separating each loop of 48 kms. The popular event saw an overall entry of 130 cars, eight of which made up the Evo Challenge field.
However, the series leader is unable to compete in the next round, the Todds Leap Ulster Rally on 21st & 22nd August, which signals that the race for the title is heading for a grand finale in September.
The Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge Ireland is supported by: Pirelli tyres, Sunoco Racing Fuels, James Foley Rallysport, Carbone Lorraine, Murray Motorsport, Speedline Corse wheels, PIAA lights, Pacenotes, Sparco racewear and Mitsubishi Motors Ireland.
