McCormack/Moynihan ease home in Donegal

Not surprisingly, Derry’s Marty McCormack and his Mallow co-driver David Moynihan in their Tiger Risk liveried Skoda Fabia R5 ran out comfortable winners of the Donegal Forest Rally, round three of the Valvoline Irish Forest Rally Championship.

They finished a minute and 11.5 seconds in front of the Mitsubishi of Omagh’s Patrick O’Brien/Stephen O’Brien with Down’s David Crossan/Damien Fleming (Ford Escort) a further 24.5 seconds behind in third.

McCormack treated the slippery and bumpy opening stage with caution before stepping up the pace to complete the loop of three stages with a 19.3 second lead.
