Ireland’s Craig Breen and Paul Nagle in a VW Polo
WRC dominated Belgium’s Ypres International Rally at the weekend, winning the
British Championship round by 45 seconds and beating Dutch ace Kevin Abbring in
another Polo into second place.
Abbring was the early leader on Friday evening’s
stages, but Breen took charge on the fourth of twenty three stages and was
never headed from then onwards.
The Fiesta of Matt Edwards won the British series
section ahead of Tom Cave’s Hyundai, with Ireland’s William Creighton, Josh
McErlean and Jordan Hone finishing third, fourth and fifth in the Junior class.
At home, Josh Moffett and Andy Hayes continued their
domination of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship yesterday by
scoring their fourth win from the opening five rounds, adding the
Carrick-on-Suir Raven’s Rock event to their previous successes in the Birr,
Midland and Circuit of Munster rallies.
They led for virtually the whole day, briefly losing
top position towards the end of the opening loop, to finish 19 seconds ahead of
former champions Roy White and James O’Brien in another Fiesta WRC.
