Ballylickey sensation Keith Cronin and Co-driver Greg Shinnors headed for Yorkshire last weekend in order to gain some further experience of the pace of the British Rally Championship. They had sampled at first hand the tenacity of the Championship regulars on the tarmac roads in Ulster, which was contested as it was also a counting round of the UK Mitsubishi 'Evo' Challenge 2008 and as contenders for that prize, they did their cause no harm by taking top points in a faultless drive.

Keith Cronin and Greg Shinnors fought some mechanical demons to take a start to finish victory in the Evo Challenge section of the Todds Leap Ulster International Rally. The Rally, which as a counting round of both the Irish Tarmac Championship and the British Rally Championship, had attracted the best drivers from the two islands to battle over the sixteen special stages, some of which were run in the dark.

Keiths next rally is the Ulster Rally (22-23 Aug) where te Evo Challenge hits the tarmac. Keith is seeded at number 30
