McGARRITY WINS CIRCUIT OF KERRY - ON A TIE-BREAK
Report courtesy of Dunlop - Proud sponsors of the National Rally Championship
Posted: April 23, 2010 10:20 AM
Yet again, the Circuit of Kerry Rally, was decided on a tie break, the
fourth time in eleven years. In an exciting third round of the Dunlop
National Rally Championship, Derek McGarrity and co-driver, James
McKee (Subaru) edged out long time leaders, Kevin Barrett/Sean
Mullally (Subaru WRC), who led by seven seconds entering the seventh
and final stage.
Niall Maguire (Subaru WRC), who was co-driven by Enda Sherry, took
third place - 31 seconds further adrift, Maguire is the new leader of
the Dunlop series, pre-event leader, Mel Evans (Subaru WRC) was one of
the retirements.
Barry Meade (Ford Escort) won the Modified category and Alan Ring
(Mitsubishi) won the Group N category.
Just like he did last year, Kevin Barrett (Subaru) set the fastest
time on the opening stage, the Maynooth driver was five seconds ahead
of Circuit of Ireland winner, Derek McGarrity following the completion
of the famous Desmond's Grave stage. Pre-event series leader, Mel
Evans (Subaru) was third - four seconds further adrift with Niall
Maguire, Kevin Kelleher and Manus Kelly completing the top six. Evans
was quickest through the second test with McGarrity setting the pace
on the third stage. At the Tralee service halt, Barett held a ten
second lead over McGarrity, rally leader Barrett recalled a moment on
S.S. 3 when he cut a corner too tight and mud filled the rim of a rear
wheel causing a vibration. McGarrity was relatively content in second
with Maguire up to third. Kevin Kelleher led Group N but was
penalised some 15 seconds for early arrival at one of the controls,
however, he was more concerned about a soaring temperature gauge.
Declan Boyle (Escort) was the top two-wheel drive exponent, he was
fifth overall but Barry Meade, also in an Escort, was only a mere
second in arrears. Eamonn Daly (Mitsubishi) was seventh overall
followed by Evans, who lost time when a turbo pipe came adrift. The
Escorts of Ed Synan and Paul Purtill completed the top ten.
Mark Jasper, who was seeded at seven in his Hyundai, was well down the
order, his car developed steering trouble and slipped to fifteenth
overall. Elsewhere, Manus Kelly crashed out while Mike Quinn lost
substantial time when he slid off the road on the third stage.
McGarrity reduced Barrett's lead to just two seconds on the fourth
test as Niall Maguire set the best time to remain third - 20 seconds
behind McGarrity.
Evans lost more time on the fourth stage and retired when a pipe
split. Another driver to retire was Kevin Kelleher, his Mitsubishi
overheated. On stages five and six, Barrett extricated a total of
five seconds from McGarrity and arrived at the final service halt with
a seven second lead over his rival. Ironically, both suffered some
transmission glitches. Meanwhile, Maguire increased his pace and was
18 seconds behind second placed, McGarrity.
The race for supremacy in the Modified category was intense, with
Declan Boyle, who was fourth overall, a mere second ahead of Barry
Meade. Boyle remarked that his Escort has some transmission woes
while Meade endured a spin on Stage 5.
Ed Synan and Paul Purtill, also in Mk. 2 Escorts were next in
classification in a top ten that also included Mark Jasper (Hyundai
Accent WRC), Adrian Hetherington (Ford Escort) and Alan Ring
(Mitsubishi). Jasper continued to suffer due to the lack of power
steering and a lack of power. Ring, who had decided to use the stages
as a test exercise, was somewhat surprised at his new role of Group N
leader.
In an exciting final stage, McGarrity punched in the best time and
finished seven seconds faster than his rival and took victory on a tie
break from a disappointed Barrett. Maguire's third place was enough
to promote him to top of the Dunlop leaderboard.
In the Modified category, both Meade and Boyle had skirmishes on the
final test, Meade fared best, despite some front wing damage while
Boyle lost over five minutes. Ring won the Group N category and
Jasper brought his Hyundai home in sixth place.
The Escorts of Paul Purtill and Ed Synan were seventh and eighth
respectively with Lloyd Hutchinson (Mini), who won the "Driver of the
Day award and Richard Whelan (Honda Civic) completing the top ten.
Confidence Building Weekend for Cunningham
Posted: April 23, 2010 9:50 AM
It was a confidence building weekend for the up and coming new Irish talent Jonathan Cunningham as he begin his Dunlop National Irish Junior Rally Championship campaign last weekend at the Carlton Hotel Circuit of Kerry Stages Rally.
The event saw Cunningham go quickest on three out of the four stages during the event, but a time costing spin and puncture on Stage 3 of the event saw him lose out on overall victory and finish an agonising yet still impressive third overall.
The event began at lunchtime, with Cunningham instantly finding his pace on the opening 17km test setting fastest overall time, seven seconds faster than Darren McKenna and 16 seconds quicker than Cal McCarthy. Cunningham was surprised to find himself on the pace for his first tarmac event in 2010.
Stage two saw the trend continue with Cunningham again setting fastest overall time, this time three seconds quicker than another of his biggest rivals Kevin O Connor and ten seconds quicker than McKenna. With the stage at only 13km in length it was even more of an impressive time, meaning Cunningham had upped his overall lead to a healthy seventeen seconds.
With all looking good for an incredibly promising result disaster would strike on the penultimate day of the event for Cunningham. Whilst navigating a fast right hander, the Honda Civic lost grip and despite his best efforts Cunningham could not catch the slide and the car drifted off the road and got beached on a bank. Luckily a number of spectators were watching at the junction and they were soon helping Cunningham to get back on the road. Whilst trying his best to make up lost time, Cunningham would slightly overcut a corner resulting in a puncture for the young Irishman, a double blow in only 18km! The drama saw Cunningham lose 46 seconds to McKenna and drop from first overall to fourth, a bitter blow that would be hard to recover from.
With only one stage remaining on the event, Cunningham knew he had to push as hard as he could in case any of his other rivals hit trouble and he could progress up the leader board. Cunningham however decided to prove that his problems had not affected his confidence by setting another fastest overall time and with this move himself back up the standings into the final podium position of the event, only 20 seconds off the eventual winner McKenna.
Although it was a frustrating end to the rally for Cunningham the current Fiesta SportChallenge UK leader was able to take away a lot of positives from the event and will be hoping to take the top spot at his next event, the Monaghan stages in two weeks time, which will also see him compete on the third round of the Fiesta SportChallenge UK series, the Pirelli Challenge Rally the day before the second Junior Rally Championship event, it will be an incredibly busy weekend but hopefully one to remember for all the right reasons!
Driver Jonathan Cunningham said:
“It was a real shame that we ran into problems on the penultimate stage of the event, especially as we were comfortably on the pace, but it just shows you cannot even make one mistake as you will instantly be playing catch up! I am really happy that we were on the pace and although disappointed I am not down hearted as I still finished on the podium. I’m now really looking forward to the next event in Monaghan which will see me take in two events in one weekend! It will be a very busy but very exciting weekend!”

Cunningham Begins Irish Title Bid
Posted: April 9, 2010 4:53 PM
After making a perfect beginning to his UK Fiesta SportChallenge title bid by winning the opening two rounds, 26 year old Galway born Jonathan Cunningham will begin his Dunlop National Irish Junior Rally Championship campaign this weekend at the Carlton Hotel Circuit of Kerry Stages Rally.
The event will see Cunningham switch from his highly successful Fiesta ST that he has used so far this season to his equally competitive Honda Civic which has undergone a full rebuild since last being used on the Cork Stages Junior Rally last year.
The event will also see Cunningham have another change, this time in the form of navigators. His UK based navigator Richard Millener is unable to make the event, and instead he will keep the event a true “family” outing by employing the co-driving skills of his brother Patrick, with Cunningham’s service crew for the event consisting of other family members and friends.
Cunningham is quickly making a name for himself this year, proving that he is constantly improving his speed and talent since his inaugural year in rallying only 12 months ago. The main aim for the talented Irishman this year in the junior championship is to again qualify for the prestigious Billy Coleman Award. After finishing a close second in the award in 2009 Cunningham feels he knows what extra is necessary to try and take the award in 2010.
With an incredibly strong field of 20 Junior drivers lining up for the start of the event Cunnigham has been seeded at fourth on the road. His main rival will be the very quick Kevin O Connor in his Citroen C2R2 Max. Cunningham knows that to win the event will be a tough task but he is confident of his speed after his UK victories and with tarmac being his preferred surface he is in high spirits and looking forward to taking the fight to his competitors.
The Junior event will take in 4 competitive stages and Cunningham will hopefully cross the finish line around 17.00 on Sunday.
Driver Jonathan Cunningham said:
“I have had a great start to my rallying campaign so far in 2010, massively exceeding my own expectations. I am now really looking forward to getting back to competing on home soil and on my favourite surface. It will be tough to take victory this weekend as the competition is so strong but I’ll give it my best shot. It should be a great event.”
Navigator Patrick Cunningham said:
“Me and Jonathan have competed together before and we are both confident in the speed we are capable of, I am looking forward to getting back in the navigators seat and hopefully I can help my brother to continue his great winning streak that he has achieved so far this year. I’m just looking forward to getting started on Sunday.”
EVANS SEEKS DUNLOP HAT TRICK ON CIRCUIT OF KERRY
Preview courtesy of Dunlop - Proud sponsors of the National Rally Championship
Posted: April 9, 2010 12:52 PM
Organisers of the Sunday's Circuit of Kerry Rally, the third round of
the Dunlop National Rally Championship, have assembled a quality entry
with no fewer than seven World Rally Cars in the top ten. The Kerry
Motor Club has placed Welsh ace, Mel Evans (Subaru WRC) at the head of
their impressive entry. The event will be based at the Carlton Hotel,
Tralee with servicing adjacent to the hotel complex.
Evans has made a terrific start to the season with a brace of wins on
the Nenagh and Mayo events and holds a twelve-point lead in the ten
round Dunlop series. As he bids for a hat-trick of victories, he
faces strong opposition in the seven stage Kerry event that includes
the classic Desmond's Grave stage.
Maynooth's, Kevin Barrett (Subaru WRC), who retired from last week's
Circuit of Ireland Rally after just two stages, will be keen to rack
up some Dunlop points.
Former winner of both the event and the championship, Niall Maguire
(Subaru WRC) has been involved in three tie-break finishes in Kerry -
losing out on two occasions. Maguire knows he has to make a strong
impression as he bids for an unprecedented fourth national title.
Last week's Circuit of Ireland winner, Derek McGarrity (Subaru WRC)
should have plenty of confidence after his fourth success on the
Easter classic. Second to Evans on the opening round, the Glengormley
driver made a quick exit on the Mayo event, in Kerry he will be
determined to finish in top spot to boost his Dunlop championship
aspirations.
Defending Patterson's RallyNews Group N champion, Kevin Kelleher is
seeded at number five in his Mitsubishi and having finished third in
Nenagh will seek a similar result in Kerry. Should the weather
conditions be somewhat inclement, Kelleher will be expected to be much
closer to the WRC brigade.
Remarkably, there are a total of four overseas drivers in the top ten,
all in World Rally Cars. Aside from Evans, John Stone (Skoda Fabia
WRC), Mark Jasper (Hyundai Accent WRC) and Hugh Hunter (Ford Focus
WRC) are seeded at six, seven and eight respectively.
The top two-wheel drive exponent is that of current rally.ie champion,
Mike Quinn (Ford Escort), a sensational third in this event in 2009,
the Kerry ace will again be out to impress on local ground. Another
local hero, Alan Ring (Mitsubishi) completes the top ten, the former
Group N champion, finished eighth overall on last week's Circuit of
Ireland.
The Group N contingent also includes Thomas Fitzmaurice (Mitsubishi),
Sean Flanagan (Subaru) and Trevor Bustard (Mitsubishi) Meanwhile, 2009
Mitsubishi Evo UK champion, Danny Barry is a late entry and it will be
interesting to see how the Enniskerry driver will perform.
The quality of the modified entry is brimming with talent, aside from
Quinn, it features Declan Boyle (Escort), who was an impressive fifth
in Mayo, Barry Meade, Manus Kelly, Des Moore, John O'Donnell, Ed
Synan, Adrian Hetherington, Fergus O'Meara, Anthony Hand, Tom Flaherty
and Frank Sweeney all in Ford Escorts and Stuart Darcy (Toyota
Corolla). There is little doubt that this category will be contested
with great vigour.
One very interesting entry is that of Limerick's, Ken Lyons, a former
winner of the event, he returns to rallying at the wheel of a
two-litre Mk. 2 Ford Escort, Lyons was a regular competitor in the
1980's when he campaigned a Mk. 2 Ford Escort before switching to a
Sierra Cosworth. Other entries include Eoin Doyle (Subaru WRC),
Vincent O'Shea (Escort Cosworth) and Alan O'Callaghan (Subaru)

Team Legend Fires for Circuit of Kerry
Posted: March 26, 2010 2:01 PM
Legend Fires Skoda Fabia WRC of John Stone / Lee Carter is coming to Kerry!
The 2 car WRC team of Legend Fires Motor Sport will be venturing to the depths of Kerry on the weekend of 10th-11th of April , bring the cars across the water from England to contest the Carlton Hotel Circuit of Kerry Stages Rally, The event is to be used as a shake down for the John Stone / Lee Carter Legend Fires Skoda Fabia WRC and Mark Jasper / Don Wyatt in their Legend Fires, Dunlop / Flogas Ireland backed Hyundai Accent WRC which has recently been converted to RHD ready for the 2010 MSA national championship. Both Drivers are in need of practice down the Kerry stages in preparation for the forthcoming Manx National Rally, so this event although a bit of a drive from home fits into the calendar , both crews are really looking forward to their time in Tralee, and hopefully the Kerry stages will be well up to giving the challenge to the crews that we are coming for.( we don’t doubt that they will as we've heard a few stories !!! ) . Neither crew have been on the Kerry stages so expect a baptism of fire and a good recce on the Saturday will be vital if they stand any chance of keeping up with the local crews on Sunday. The battle between the team members for finishing position will be the main concern for bragging rights at the Carlton Hotel's bar on Sunday night but a good show for the spectators is always part of the agenda. Mark also hopes to debut a new colour scheme with a bit of Kerry green over what was a awesome looking all black Accent.
