Pat O’Connell to debuts new Fiesta at Moonraker Forest Rally
The Trailer Parts & Spares Irish Forest Rally Championship returns this weekend as a massive entry of over 120 crews heads to Dungarvan for the Moonraker Forest Rally.
Last year’s winners Pat O’Connell and Mark Wiley lead the field and are set to debut a newly acquired Ford Fiesta Rally2. They face stiff competition from Round 1 winners Mark Donnelly and Martin Brady in their VW Polo GTi R5, alongside a stacked RC2 field including Josh Moffett, Jordan Hone, and Niall McCullagh.
The action centers on six stages, including two runs over the legendary ‘The Vee’, with the first J1000 crews leaving service at 09:30 on Saturday.
