MOFFETT PLOTS ANOTHER NATIONAL BID
Josh Moffett says he will bid for the
Irish National Rally Championship again in 2023 after winning all of the rounds he started this year in his family-backed Hyundai i20 R5.
Moffett clinched the Vard Memorial Trophy with an event to spare to become only the seventh person in the history of the competition to win it twice. He also dominated the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship in the same car.
He is now aiming to draw level on three titles with Niall Maguire and Declan Boyle. Moffett said: “It’s been a good year for us but it was by no means easy. I’m only 30 now and I feel that I have the capacity to win it another few times. Obviously, you never know who comes to the table, but we’re certainly at the top of our game at the minute.”
Moffett begins the defence of his National crown at the Midland Rally on March 5, followed by the Circuit of Kerry (April 2), Cavan Rally (May 28), Raven’s Rock (July 2), Sligo Stages (July 16), ALMC Rally (August 13), Clare Rally (September 24) and
Fastnet Rally (October 29).
