Pete and Drew Gibson\u00a0managed a fantastic 5th overall and first in class on the Ulster National Rally on what was there first visit to Ireland.<\/p>\n

The Thursday recce\u00a0went well as 4 stages were repeated to give\u00a0an 8 stage event. Many amendments were made to the organisers notes to try and ensure a safe run in the absence of any local knowledge.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning saw Pete on the pace from the start\u00a0but maybe a bit too hot in the cool and damp of stage 1 Langford Lodge where a grassy moment gave a stern reality check but still netted them their first top ten time. A change\u00a0to more suited\u00a0tyres at first service gave them 8th fastest on the 15 mile Slieve Galleon stage but near disaster struck when the gearbox played up on stage 4 and a missed gear contributed to a substantial off with a puncture and body damage. Lady luck shone on the boys however and a separate incident to car 1 took the limelight and allowed them to\u00a0limp out of the stage with bent rear suspension and body damage. A frantic 30 minute service followed and a repeat of the first stage was given much respect. The boys got their heads down on Tardee 2 and posted 4th overall time, a pace they retained to the end to pick up the class win\u00a0and 5th Overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
