Kelly’s Electric Drive!
Donegal driver Donagh Kelly secured his third Carryduff Forklift MSA N.I. Rally Championship victory on Saturday when he claimed victory at Magherafelt and District Motor Club's Tour of the Sperrins Rally! Navigated by Kevin Flanagan, Kelly powered his Airtricity backed Subaru Impreza World Rally Car to victory by 8.8 seconds from reigning champion and current series leader, Derek McGarrity. In fact, it was McGarrity who secured maximum points and extended his championship lead as Kelly is not registered for the series. So despite having to settle for second on this occasion, the Glengormley driver bolstered his chances of securing another Carryduff Forklift ...
Bradley Heads Sperrins Entry!

Easter Stages Rally Cancelled
The management of the Easter Stages Rally, round three of the Carryduff Forklift MSA N.I. Rally Championship which was due to take place this weekend across Counties Down and Antrim, have been forced to cancel the event.

Clearing efforts are expected to make some progress by the weekend, the forecast of continued low temperatures, ...

The Saintfield driver has entered the Triton Showers Easter Stages Rally in a DGM hired Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 and will be navigated by his 19-year-old daughter Laura. It was almost 13 years ago that Robin clinched the N.I. title aboard a Toyota Celica after a year long battle with Denis Biggerstaff’s Metro 6R4. That was to be the pinnacle of Phillips’ rally success, although he later competed in selected events with a Toyota Corolla WRC. His last competitive outing ...
