Monaghan brothers Sam and Josh Moffett brought their Ford Fiesta RS WRC’s to the Plains Rally in Wales to gain some gravel mileage ahead of their next outing on the European Rally Championship.

Sam and Josh are regular competitors on the Irish Foresty Championship but this was their first time competing on the loose in World Rally Cars. A solid performance from the pair saw run consistently at the business end of the top 10 with Josh and co-driver John Rowan taking a brace of fastest times on their way to 2nd overall. Elder brother Sam
with Karl Atkinso calling the pacebotes, brought his identical Fiesta home in 6^th position. The Moffett’s next outing will be the Azores Rally at the beginning of June.

Menwhile, on the Sezoens Rally in Belgium, Stephen Wright took an impressive podium finish in his Ford Fiesta R5. It was Wright’s first event in Belgium in 2015 having spent much of 2014 competing in the Belgian Rally Championship. Despite concerns over a leaking intercooler, Wright rose to the challenge setting a second fastest time on the penultimate stage of the rally on his way to taking 3rd place behind event winner Freddy Loix and 2^nd places Vincent Verschueren. Wright was co-driven by local navigator Eddy Smeets in a one off deal.
