Gwyndaf Evans and Phil Pugh have retired from International Rally NI after hitting a wall on stage ten of the event.

The JR Motorsports Mitsubishi made it to service in Antrim sporting a damaged front left hand corner, but Evans was not confident even at that point that the car could continue.

The JRM Team did a sterling job of repairing the bodywork and radiator damage but Evans’ initial diagnosis that the engine had overheated and was down on compression proved accurate.

The car was towed out of the service area to the control, but that was the end of the event for the new pairing, the car refusing to start and pushed back to the service bay by the dejected mechanics.
