A pattern that has become a relatively common feature in this season’s Irish rallying saw Monaghan’s Josh Moffett (Hyundai i20 R5) and Derry’s Callum Devine (VW Polo GTi R5) dominate the opening day of the Wilton Recycling Donegal International Rally.

Overnight, Moffett holds a slender 4.9-second advantage over Devine, who is seeking his third straight win in a round of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. Monaghan’s Sam Moffett (Hyundai i20 N Rally2) is 24.8s further behind in third.
