Title contenders on two fronts go head to head in Derry

Swedish ace and BRC leader Fredrik Ahlin (Skoda Fabia R5) is the top seed but drivers such as Keith Cronin and Marty McCormack and ITC title duo Sam Moffett and Alistair Fisher should provide strong opposition over the event’s 14 stages.
Ahlin has a strong lead in the British championship but the title is still attainable for five others including Cronin, however, the West Cork driver and the remaining title aspirants need their Swedish rival to have a non-finish in a remaining round — the series concludes with the Isle of Man Rally that counts as a double round.
