Moffett to debut in brother’s Fiesta

Although Monaghan’s Josh Moffett (pictured) is officially listed to drive his usual Mitsubishi EvoIX at Sunday’s Sligo Rally, the 22-year-old will make his debut in the Ford Fiesta WRC his brother Sam drove to victory in the Rally of the Lakes last May.

“We’ve been talking about it for a while and with the Sligo event not a round of the Dunlop series this time, it is the perfect opportunity,” said Josh.

“We did a test earlier in the week and while we didn’t get that much mileage in, it was enough to get the confidence and go ahead with the decision to compete in Sligo. I just couldn’t describe how I felt after the test, the car is just unbelievable.”
