A long trip to Skibbereen in
West Cork fot the Fastnet Rally. This is the final round of the Dunlop National Rally Champioship with 7 Stages in a 3,3,1 format. Patrick Elliott need a top 3 finish to take the National Championship and Niall Maguire has to win and Patrick Elliott has to finish outside the top 3 for him to take the National Championship. The Stages were slippy and a lot of over night rain left some standing water in places. After the First Loop and with the Stages drying out Denis Cronin took the Lead and eventully won the Rally with Melvyn Evans 2nd and Niall Maguire 3rd, Elliott finished 4th and is the 2009 Dunlop National Rally Champion.
