Gass hoping to keep pace with top men Moffett and Devine

Armagh’s Darren Gass (Citroen C3 Rally2), a former Irish Tarmac champion (2012) and Circuit of Kerry winner (2011) has unlike other years, set his sights on a full campaign in this year’s Triton series.

Armagh's Darren Gass (Citroen C3 Rally2) is a former winner of the Circuit of Kerry (2011) and joins Derry's Callum Devine (VW Polo GTi R5) and Monaghan's Josh Moffett (Hyundai i20 R5) in the quest for success in Sunday's Tralee based event, round two of the Triton National Rally Championship.

As the Triton Showers National Rally Championship picks up pace with Sunday’s second round Tralee-based Rose Hotel Circuit of Kerry, reigning champion Josh Moffett is in the unfamiliar role of the chaser in his quest to land the Vard Memorial Trophy for a record equalling third time.

Last year, the thirty year old Monaghan driver rocked up to the title with six straight wins from the opening six events. He arrives in Kerry trailing series leader and opening round winner Callum Devine (VW Polo GTi R5) by a solitary point. But this latest encounter, over nine stages around Castleisland, may not just be confined to them.
