No less than eight of the top 10 were World Rally Cars and the entry was further complemented by an impressive line up of Group N cars as well as cars from all of the leading classes.<\/p>\n<p>The one-day asphalt event was celebrating its fourth year based at the City North Hotel close to Dublin and challenged competitors over nine stages covering 160 competitive kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>Welshman Melvyn Evans took the rally victory at the wheel of a Subaru Impreza WRC equipped with Pirelli tyres, claiming a dominant win by over one minute.\u00a0James Belton finished second, also at the wheel of a Pirelli-equipped Subaru Impreza WRC.<\/p>\n<p>Completing a Subaru podium clean sweep was Stephen Simpson who brought his Pirelli-equipped car to third overall.\u00a0Fourth place was awarded to Damian Cole who also benefited from the use of Pirelli tyres on his Ford Focus RS WRC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe club is delighted to have had so many crews attend the event from the UK championship: it was by far the best UK entry we have had since we became a part of it,\u201d explained Clerk of the Course, Noel Devlin. \u201cAn event like this takes the hard work of a very large group of volunteers. Without their help and effort it could not take place, so thanks to all the marshals, officials, sponsors, residents and competitors who all played their part in the success of the rally.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pirelli tyres excelled on the Aer Lingus Motor Club [ALMC] Rally last weekend with the top four classified crews all using Pirelli\u2019s highly-competitive RX7 and RX9 asphalt tyres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pirelli"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pirelli tyres excel on Irish Tarmac ALMC rally - TyreTrade.ie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pirelli tyres excel on Irish Tarmac ALMC rally - TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pirelli tyres excelled on the Aer Lingus Motor Club [ALMC] Rally last weekend with the top four classified crews all using Pirelli\u2019s highly-competitive RX7 and RX9 asphalt tyres.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-07-17T10:22:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2012-07-17T10:30:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John Loughran\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"John Loughran\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"John Loughran\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#\/schema\/person\/c0af8d636e31001f6621e6d954d4e8b6\"},\"headline\":\"Pirelli tyres excel on Irish Tarmac ALMC rally\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-07-17T10:22:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-07-17T10:30:50+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\"},\"wordCount\":297,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"Pirelli\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\",\"name\":\"Pirelli tyres excel on Irish Tarmac ALMC rally - TyreTrade.ie\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2012-07-17T10:22:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-07-17T10:30:50+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/pirelli-tyres-excel-on-irish-tarmac-almc-rally\/882#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Pirelli tyres excel on Irish Tarmac ALMC rally\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\",\"name\":\"TyreTrade.ie\",\"description\":\"Ireland&#039;s Publication for the Tyre &amp;
