Killarney co-drivers lead the charge for Circuit of Ireland

Muckross co-driver Noel O’Sullivan and driver Callum Devine start as top seeds in their Skoda Fabia RS Rally2. The reigning champions are looking to defend their 2025 Circuit victory and regain ground in the championship standings following Josh Moffett’s recent win in West Cork.
Joining them in the top-flight Rally2 class is Rockfield’s Shane Buckley. Navigating for David Kelly in a similar Skoda, Buckley will be aiming to break onto the podium after the crew secured two fourth-place finishes in the opening rounds of the series.
The Killarney pair face a competitive field including dual West cork Rally winner Moffett (Toyota Yaris Rally2) and Irish National Rally Champion Eddie Doherty.

Beyond the lead battle, several other Kerry navigators are in action over the two-day event. Currow’s John McCarthy returns to pace-note duties for John Devlin in their Ford Escort Mk2, competing in the competitive modified section.
