Donegal Rally looks up for grabs

The Valvoline Irish Forest Rally Championship is likely to have a new leader after tomorrow’s Abbey Hotel Donegal Forest Rally, the third round of the campaign as series leader and former champion Josh Moffett has withdrawn his entry due to business commitments.

With neither Sam Moffett or reigning champion Desi Henry amongst the entry – currently they are second and third respectively - it offers the trio of Adrian Hetherington, Jonny Leonard and Gerard Lucey an ideal opportunity to top the standings.

However, second seeds Derry’s Marty McCormack and Mallow co-driver David Moynihan are the favourites for victory. They were third overall on the Pirelli Rally and their Donegal outing is seen as more of a shakedown for next week’s Scottish Rally.
