Michael O’Brien aims to hit top gear in Enniskillen

With consistent performances on the opening four rounds of the Valvoline Irish Forest Rally Championship, London-based Cork driver Michael O’Brien (Ford Focus WRC) makes another trip across the Irish Sea for tomorrow’s TuffMac Trailers Lakeland Rally in Enniskillen. The event also counts towards the Northern Ireland McGrady Insurance and Carryduff Forklift Championship.

O’Brien won the opening round in Carrick-on-Suir and followed that with top three championship finishes in Donegal and the two rounds in his native county that were won by reigning champion Owen Murphy.

However, Murphy has decided against a title bid essentially leaving Monaghan’s Josh Moffett as O’Brien’s main title rival.
