Sunset Rally August 2013

Sunset Rally August 2013

Mayo & District Motorsport Club member, Darragh Mullen from Ballisodare, has made it 2 wins in a row now for himself and his driver, Derek McGeehan in their Mini World Rally Car after their success on the night stages of the Sunset Rally held in the forests around Draperstown, Northern Ireland on Friday Night last.

The pair dominated the opening loop and held a comfortable lead at the service halt.
This was a unique rally in which crews got one run through the forests in daylight before service to bolt on the spot lights for the thrill of doing the two stages again this time in the dark.

It just kept getting better for the McGeehan Motorsport crew, on the final loop of stages they continued to set fastest stage times and returned to the finish ramp in Draperstown in first place.
This weekend’s win follows a triumph on the national section of the two-day Ulster Rally a week previous, for the flourishing Sligo and Derry partnership.
