Motorsport: Sam Moffett on brink of historic triumph

Sam Moffett will create Irish motorsport history once he checks in at the first control of this weekend’s Acesigns Cork “20” International Rally, the final round of the Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Championship

Along with his Bandon co-driver Karl Atkinson, Moffett will have clinched the Tarmac series courtesy of the five bonus points for starting all six rounds and those points will put them in an unassailable position.

Last week Moffett won the Irish Forest series to add to the Triton National Championship he won in July and will be the first driver to win all three in the one season.
