Patrick O'Brien wins home Rally in Omagh for fourth season in a row

On the final stage O’Brien overturned a 1.4s deficit to win by a mere 0.7s, the smallest margin of his four year reign of supremacy.

In yet another fascinating and absorbing encounter Omagh’s Patrick O’Brien took his R317 Motorsport run Skoda Fabia R5 to his fourth successive victory in the Omagh based McKelvey Asbestos Bushwhacker Rally.

Yet again, fellow local Cathan McCourt (Ford Fiesta Rally2) was his principal rival and just like previous years, the battle went down to the wire.
