MOTORSPORT: Donnelly set for a second day at the wheel

Former champion Eugene Donnelly is hoping for a change of fortunes on Saturday in day two of the UAC Easter Stages Rally.

"It’s been a very tough start to the rally for us," Donnelly commented on Friday.  "I lost my confidence on the first stage and had several big moments on the second one which was disappointing.

"We soon realised it was due to choosing the wrong tyre compound and the car was transformed in stages 3 and 4. Everything felt a lot better but I still need to improve in the fast sections. Plenty more to come tomorrow I hope".

Josh McErlean, in his Fiesta R2 1600, is also among the local drivers in action.

Clady's Desi Henry slid off the road.  Despite no real damage he was over the maximum time to continue.
