Derry’s Callum Devine and his Killarney co-driver Noel O’Sullivan (VW Polo GTi R5) have injected fresh energy to their Irish Tarmac Rally Championship title bid courtesy of their start to finish victory in the Cookstown based Milburn Concrete Circuit of Ireland Rally.

Following another epic contest with the Hyundai i20 R5 of Monaghan’s Josh Moffett and his Wexford co-driver Andy Hayes, they won by 10.2 seconds. The Welsh crew of Meirion Evans/Jonathan Jackson (VW Polo GTi R5) were 37.1s further behind in third. Remarkably, Devine/O’Sullivan are the third different winners in as many rounds of the Samdec Security backed Tarmac series.
