Unusually, the four major contenders in the Acesigns Irish Tarmac Rally Championship have yet to claim victory in the Letterkenny based Joule Donegal International Rally, the fifth round of the series, that celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend with a stellar entry. 

What began as a relatively ordinary rally based out of Rosapenna in 1972 has, through the decades, transformed itself into the event that every driver wants to win.
