Irish drivers Josh McErlean and William Creighton are amongst a strong entry in the WRC2 category of the weekend’s Central European Rally, the penultimate round of the World Rally Championship.

Second place in WRC2 in Portugal last May is, so far, a season-best for Kilrea’s McErlean, who has shown great pace in the Toksport run Skoda Fabia RS Rally2.
