8 WE HAVE LIFT OFF

Air Ambulance NI is your local charity that provides the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service for Northern Ireland together with its partners at the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.

The Air Ambulance Northern Ireland (AANI) operation is the chosen charity for the John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally and the Northern Ireland Motor Club have been working for some time to see how best the JMMUR can support the AANI.

This is an excellent service supported entirely by donations and we hope that everyone attending the JMMUR will contribute to the collections over the event. The aircrew attend some of the most traumatic medical incidents in the region, providing emergency pre-hospital care, both at the scene and whilst transferring the patient to the most appropriate hospital for their specific injuries. The red helicopter can get anywhere in the province in less than twenty-five minutes, so travel times to the patient and to hospital are slashed. They operate seven days a week for twelve hours a day.

Serious or life-threatening situations can happen to anyone at any time and on average, every single day in Northern Ireland, one individual finds themselves in desperate need of Air Ambulance NI. AANI are dedicated to delivering the very best possible patient care, so their service is often the difference between life and death, making your support so vital. On board is a Consultant doctor and paramedic, and as a team they can provide treatment at the site in minutes.

It takes £2 million pounds each year to sustain this service. That’s roughly £5,500 per day or £40,000 a week. AANI need your support to keep the helicopter flying and to keep saving lives.

If you would like to help, you can donate at airambulanceni.org or give them a call to discuss your idea, volunteer or get involved individually or through your workplace on 028 9262 2677. 9 Your ocal Communications Expert Phone systems do more than route calls.

The Ulster Rally has played host to some of up to the event. the finest rally 'slugging matches' this island has ever seen, which presented us with Not that everyone was apprehensive as to the something of a challenge when it came to challenge posed by Ingolstadt's ultimate picking out a specific year and contest to weapon; Russell Brookes, by now well settled focus on here. within Deal Team Opel and something of a Manta master, was quick to pour cold water on An expansive list of iconic runnings was drawn talk of the S1 E2's potential, going on to predict up, reminisced upon at length and discussed for that it wouldn't make the finish thanks to longer still, before we finally settled on 1985. questionable reliability and a lack pre-Ulster This was an Ulster Rally that's lived long in the prep. He was correct; the big Audi and its memories of all who were fortunate enough to French pilot out of the running by the end of the witness it first hand, and has proved a sore point very first special stage, Mouton's retirement for those denied the opportunity by dint of blamed upon an overheating engine and being born too late. cooked turbo, long a Quattro ailment.

Not that the swift exit of the S1 E2 meant the end of Audi's chances of winning the event outright, the marque still amply represented by the older A2 cars of Malcolm Wilson and . Older it might have been, but the A2 was by 1985 a well proven beast, a championship contender and one able to win in Russell Brookes some of the toughest conditions a car is ever likely to encounter. Audi's rivals had officially been put on notice. 1985 has been writ large in the storied history of the Ulster Rally for a number of reasons, but at Wilson and Llewellin faced stern competition the time the biggest talking point was to do with from Audi's arch rival on the world stage, the appearance on British soil of one of the Peugeot. The French concern's 205 T16 was an foremost supercars, the Audi S1 E2, occasional visitor to the British Open this time driven by Michelle Mouton. Northern Championship and proved a tad highly strung, Ireland's undulating lanes had echoed to the but 1986 saw one make an appearance, this Quattro's five-pot snarl plenty of times before time with Michael Sundstrom behind the wheel this of course, but 1985 marked the first time or an early (yet no less formidable) pre-Evo that the ultimate evolution of the original Group variant. B monster came out to play. Antrim tarmac had proved a happy hunting Mouton's presence, in a car that was (for the ground for those competitors devoid of all- time) among the most advanced examples of competition machinery anywhere in the world, rather underscores the high regard the Ulster round of the British Rally Championship was held in, and it certainly set service park tongues wagging. For her part, Mouton was quietly confident but refused to be drawn when asked about her chances of victory, saying only that she'd had limited time to test the car in the lead 13 wheel drive and forced induction plenty of arrival of dawn revealed a somewhat times previously though, which explains why predictable top two, the Audi of Wilson a full many Ulster Rally sages were quick to point to minute ahead of the tentative Sundstrum.

The trio of Opel team mates and dented his confidence, something not came to define the British Rally Championship helped by further transmission gremlins as the rally wound its way north of Omagh.

There was worse to come for the all-wheel drive runners, this time courtesy of the weather. The rain rolled away and the skies cleared, the tarmac rapidly dried and the Manta tide began to inexorable rise up the order. Damper setting and turbo issues on the 205 of Sundstrom aided Opel's cause, as did Llewellin's gravel- spec differential settings and the untimely demise of Wilson's Quattro, its second gearbox of the rally giving up the ghost midway through the Sperrin Mountain loop. Malcolm Wilson The retirement of Wilson and the continued at the apex of the Group B era, and the 1986 struggle of Llewellin, coupled with the ever Ulster Rally was an undoubted highpoint, with improving pace of McRae and Brookes, saw the the Scot, the Englishman and the Ulster man at lead Mantas promoted to second and third the peak of their respective powers. place, the pair's battle lent further significance Underscoring the importance of the rally and now that extra championship points were on the popularity of the Manta, there were also offer. Brookes made a series of poor tyre 400s for Austin McHale and Cyril Bolton. choices by opting for partial wet tyres on Saturday's largely dry stages, a decision that Group B might have been the headline act, but blunted his ability to challenge McRae's lead. 1985's running of the British Midland Ulster drew an impressive collection of Group A Michele Mouton metal, with the big Rover SD1 V8s of Mike Stuart clear crowd favourites, though their chief rival Per Eklund's Celica Supra wasn't without its charms.

It didn't take long for the inter-team squabble between the Opel drivers to take hold, Brookes making the early running thanks to a specially built lightweight 400, 'ADZ 31' - the 'bendibus. The opening leg of the rally was marked by sodden weather, the rain beating down throughout the morning and turning the tarmac stages into treacherous, high speed endurance The same could be said of Fisher and McHale. epics – in other words, classic Quattro Country.

The Finn's T16 developed a clutch issue, and while Peugeot Sport's mechanics moved earth to get its slave cylinder swapped at the Glenarm service park, they went over by 20 seconds. The ensuing penalty relegated Sundstrum to third, a position he would hold to the end, unable to Russell Brookes & Mike Broad deliver a riposte to the GM duo further up the road.

McRae's pace was Championship drivers' title, one he was to impressive but not quite as impressive as that of ultimately win. There can be no doubt that his win on the Ulster was a key part of this, nor the spectacular nature of his dual with McRae.

Sundstrum's delayed departure from service put end to his hopes for victory, meaning the Peugeot was classified in third, a minute and a half down on the and very nearly five minutes ahead of the only remaining four-wheel drive machine, Llewellin's Quattro.
