Ulster Historic Rally

Two weeks after their Cork 20 win, Trevor Wilson and Paul Mulholland claimed victory in the Historic Category of the Ulster Rally, by almost four minutes.  Ford Escort Mk2 driver Mulholland recorded fastest times on all but one of the ten stages, in a field of just nine historic competitors, to take his third win of the season ahead of both David Armstrong and John Adams.

Duncan Williams and Guy Weaver had already claimed the Irish championship title pre-Ulster, but failing to make it through the opening stage in Newry after they were beached on a grass verge, was far from what they had wanted for the final.
