West Cork Rally

This would have been Melvyn’s first rally in Ireland in his new Subaru S9 WRC. Hope were high for a good run. After the first two stages the Subaru was in 3rd place, however on the 3rd stage the car developed a problem with lack of power, the fault found to be a blown turbo pipe which ended the rally for Melvyn.

 

Tour of Epynt

First rally of the new year, Melvyn was car 1 with regular navigator Sean Mullally, - who has never been over Eppynt before, - the weather was very wet, with a lot of standing water, making conditions dangerous. Even though Melvyn officially won the rally, with 31/2 minutes clear, the first six cars were excluded for not being able to supply a fuel sample at post event scruiting.  The fuel fiasco still continues.
