ITRC 2022

[FM155]

Been glued to it so far, as good as expected.

 

[DC.]

Edwards is keeping it interesting for the win so far. Big day tomorrow.

O/A after SS6 and day 1.
1. Devine
2. Edwards + 5.8
3. Fisher + 34.9
4. J. Moffett + 38.9
5. Evans + 49.8

 

[FM155]

Edwards took 2.7 out of Callum on SS6 too and he'll have a service to dial the car in to what he wants. Should make for a great Saturday's battle.

 

[DC.]

Devine must be thinking that Edwards isn’t doing the championship so don’t have to go mad to beat him.

Still, can’t have him beating the locals

 

[FM155]

You'd think he'd still want to show he's up to the challenge of beating a BRC champion though...

 

[DC.]

…and therein lies the dilemma!

Not often you get to fight for overall Donegal honours so I’d be going for it if it was me.

What happened on SS4? Medical van was going through as I was leaving it

Josh Moffett was saying that people were standing in awful places.

 

[Graham]

Knock knock! Who's there? Alastair Fisher, that's who...

 

[DC.]

 

[AidanMcG]

Sad way for Callum’s rally to end after controlling the pace the last two days

 

[FM155]

Matt Edwards out on Atlantic drive too, Josh Moffett leads by 1 second from Ali Fisher, great battle.

 

[DC.]

Sad to see both Devine and Edwards not make the finish. What a battle!

Terrible shame there’s no TV coverage of the event.

 

[FM155]

Aye, would have been good to see that battle work it's way out.

Ali Fisher has punctured on Glen and lost around a minute so Josh looks safe going into Atlantic Drive, might be a chance that there could be a Moffett 1-2 as Ali is late for Atlantic drive at the moment. Currently Ali is still 6 secs ahead of Sam.

 

[DC.]

Who’d have thought that would make up the top 3 at the start of the day?

Have to make the effort and go next year. Spent half the weekend checking times and live stage-end videos.

 

[FM155]

Me too, was seriously wanting to be over there this weekend but had family here yesterday etc

 

[AidanMcG]

Need to get a full weekend at Donegal again. Could only do Friday as had a concert in Dublin last night that’s been delayed for 2 years

 

[FM155]

Just confirmed Josh 1st, Sam 2nd, Merrion 3rd, Ali dropped more time due to damage from the puncture unfortunately.

 

[DC.]

Some amount of drama in just 5 stages. Congrats to all who finished

 

[FM155]

Has to be save of the rally! Daniel McKenna yesterday.

And the onboard:

 

[DC.]

Need to more of their onboard stuff from the weekend. Some machine once it gets traction!

 

[FM155]

McKenna is showing his experience from his BRC & WRC days, that yoke is on a par with Bogie's motor too.
Great stuff although it would be great to see him in something at the pointy end tbh, he's a serious pilot.

And the onboard:

Good on the co-driver to get straight back on to the notes

I didn’t realise Edwards crash was that bad, Both very lucky by the sounds things.
