A RECORD BREAKER MCKINSTRY TAKES MANX VICTORY
Ulsterman Kenny McKinstry saw off a late and determined challenge from fellow Subaru WRC driver Roger Duckworth to take a record breaking fourth win on the RBS International Manx Rally today.

Along with co driver Noel Orr, the Banbridge driver led the event overnight and had to fend off both Duckworth and former winner Melvyn Evans (Subaru) to take a 5.1 second victory after fourteen dramatic stages and 120 miles around the closed roads of the Isle of Man.
In doing so, McKinstry beat the record of the late Bertie Fisher as well as Phil Collins, who each took a hat trick on the Manx Auto Club event, on his way to the narrowest victory in recent years.
