Cara Lake and the historic leader heading into that second loop Jody corks on Murphy who led by eight point seven seconds after three in the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus yeah we've had a great Martin I know we had a good tire choice the Smarty and beat a few problems there with a breakout of early cannon a maximum broke with hopefully isn't staying home for today well despite the brake caliper leaking Murphy then reported no issues over the second set of stages and maintained his lead after six the former Irish historic champion and his lead trim slightly though 27.3 seconds [Applause] [Music] it was a great battle of upon Thalia storage with Mark file be trading times of Murphy on the repeat loop the gap stood at just over seven seconds with two states to go as all to play for over the double Ron overkill coming the second loop was a good one as well for the Welshman Thomas Davies who climbed to third in the escort but as he was over one and a half minutes off the lead place in the podium was perhaps now his aim these stages are one of the best in Europe are utilized to be here yes it's lovely to be when you come over the top and you can see could see the gap you can see the crowd it's almost like it can sort of feel the atmosphere inside the car yeah really glad to be back and it's nice to do it Neil Williams had dropped behind his compatriot Davis into fourth three point three seconds behind third place was still all to play for [Music] so yeah sadly though this was the last we see of Melvin Evans who retired not far to stage for the second run of a Myles gap [Music] having been fired at one point before dropping to eight with a mantra Phil Connors had a good loop to climb back up to fifth for very long left one extra lean continues over 150 in slowing at the end right three I dropped a fair bit of time this one got a puncture damage the steering so we dropped thirty seconds or so and we're fighting our way back and we're back up to fifth so that it's all gonna be this is about ten seconds over five cars you know and it's great to be involved in a historic and you see how well some of these guys are going I've really enjoyed it after the first few issues the car is really nice to drive and yeah I'm enjoying the day wagging his tail like a happy dog off the start line london-based local man ray Hilliard was really putting on a show in the aptly named escort the hill twister was doing it stuffed campaigning in Citroen and Fiesta or fives in the 2018 forestry Randy Jam Jib Catholic reports had registered for the 2019 a starry championship and was just outside the top ten after a tentative start and the johnston was beginning to make headway now in the log Soulja bet and he in James Macari were thirteenth on the historic standings England's Duncan Williams with co-driver guide we were directors on the historic championship they were 15th Gore was ray Cunningham a former overall winner in Killarney was this year contesting the 2019 championship and was leading the minis after six stages yeah having a bit of fun leading the minis by not playing laughs Colin is pushing this very hard behind so enjoying it thought great fun great fun Colin you're having a great bathroom out there yeah yeah we are yep we're having a bit of our own you crack yet John just keep her nice and clean and headache good Ryan two more to go David and Nina goose are a father and daughter crew over from England they're regulars on the istari championship 16th understandings with two stages to go Jimmy McRae was going well but was concerned about a fluctuating engine temperature gauge in the Forenza as he bid to complete yet another historic rally in Killarney that loony is a local mechanic great driver last year's event I wasn't going quite so well this year in the mark what escort we restored him the first time found it very slippery my first angle is very steeply but it's hot we're still here nice to meet you neighbor Sylvia Allen how are you find Irish roads here today very very very challenging very slippery it's supposed to be for the least fun but it's yeah you've got to be you got to be on your game today did you make any change the service yeah if softer tires on the front yeah I was turning the steering wheel mostly was that me yeah and so to the modified section as the cars lined up at the bottom of the gap there was just 5.3 seconds between the top two and this one and indeed over just 30 seconds separated the top six it was that close yeah happy enough to slogan starts that's very hard to get into tricky conditions everyone's pushing hard behind so yeah we need to keep the push on up here and on train get a bit of time back Jackson how are you getting on out there I did all know and a bit of a spun there in the first one but two good enough stages after that then you know what sure swegen hopping off to me that's far no moon nearly threw it all the way in here the last name but before all of that once again the sights and sounds of the Metro 6r4 with Craig rain and Paul Nagel through with the center of attention that service back in Killarney and money had stayed up in malls gap to see the car once again traverse the famous old stage sadly though bream was forced to retire on stage five Banach Beamer when the prop shaft broke after a job [Music] sad end it was great to see it in action yeah unfortunately the Sun there the second or nobody FEMA we've broken I reckon it's a prop shaft or something the transmission so it's pity with a really real nice one on the gap when will you get an INT wooden was enjoying this one as well so what they all care is an old technology and you have to be gentle with them sometime so maybe it's a lesson to be learned not such a good day either for our early leader Rob Duggan who retired with a blown engine on stage for the sound of the escort going through the gap were the soundings of its death knell as a result of Duggan's demise Declan Gallaher took over the modified lead and had a control drive through the second loop at the end of six states the daunting old driver has justified his long trip down from Donegal 28.3 seconds ahead of the rest [Music] Chris Armstrong was quickest on Mars gap second time around was back at the second place but it would be a big ass to relink Gallaher on the final two stages [Music] one right for the last one exactly work for that - the camera for the 36 a great I think Texans too far ahead of us at the minute we're on the big push but here he's just a different piece we're happy enough there's our people to update in the last loop you guys the end they would be happy Jonathan Pringles up to third after stage four but his run came to an end on the next stage panic Pima - as he retired the Ford Escort lets Pringle out now Gary Caron then took over third place but he - bowed out of the events this time in stage six Cara Lake not a good event for the usually reliable tournament and it was now turning out to be a rally of attrition in the modified scotland's david bowie also retired mechanical trouble with the trottle the cause of his demise edge towards the end of this stage they were diploma the fly-by-wire motor failed so base already no throttle and between that and then it's tacking on it was they just a case of sweat you know often preserving the engine and keeping the car in the road with money ahead of him of falling by the wayside and O'Brian was surprised to find himself up to third now 40 6.5 seconds off the overall modified lead last few stages now just such a pleasure to drive or just coming off the stage with a smile on her face so we're looking returned a good for the rest her falling out so I know we're really having fun Martin McGee was also the beneficiary of retirements and he was now up to fourth when McGee had some moments of his own well held sir [Applause] push sing that often the one left maybe door push left over that's the one there see four five letters I am impressed five left on foot Edie - right / friends sexy Kononov Donohue and Eddie Donnie who are still having some technical issues in the BMW it is quite the sight and a

back to part three of this year's Killarney history stages rally as we look forward to the final two stages the back-to-back runs overkill common which is located to the north of Killarney and things couldn't be tighter at the top of the historic section of this year's event as going into the last two stages just 7.3 seconds separated the Talbot Sunbeam of leader on Murphy and the escort of Marc Valley is going to be a battle royal to the finish between the pair yes we're pushing as hard as we possibly can in America is in the same boat don't the last Tuesday's you know we see marker crease

back it was all now up to second place mark Falvey and James O'Brien they just owned it ten seconds to make up now when they traversed the stage for the second time it was all or nothing profoundly as the last stage of this year's event loomed Thomas Davies had managed to force his way up to third now with one to go in his escort and he held that third place by 1.3 seconds slipping 2/4 on the second last stage near Williams in the escort but he was still not out on that chase for third and would hope that his second ronica common taken past Davies a puncture early on for Phil Collins in the Opel Ascona really could pay to any chance that Collins would have had he was fifth though in hysterics as they approach the final stage why the action was going on in the hysterics there was no problem in the Modifieds for Declan Gallaher and John McGraw such was their lead they could probably have done the final stage in Reverse and still won despite the stall [Music] second but still with work to do to hold on to that second place and O'Brien and John Potter in the mark two they led the third place crew by just 7.1 seconds [Music] Chris Armstrong was second after six stages but he
