The weekend’s EMC Lakeland Rally in Enniskillen and Rali Bae Ceredigion in Wales - the respective fifth rounds of the Sligo Pallets Irish Forest Rally Championship and the British Rally Championship offer similar and different comparisons. Both will be decided on the best five scores, however, a number of the top seeds in both events will be free of the shackles of championship points and that should raise the tempo.
