The Donegal Motor Club hosted its final event of 2012 at the weekend with the Jacksons Hotel Mini Stages Rally. It drew a capacity entry with sixty competitors tackling six classic stages in the Finn Valley area. The sub zero temperatures overnight left the opening loop of stages very tricky but leading from the off was Martin Doherty & Damien Mc Cauley in their Lancer Evo 9 setting fastest Stage times on the first four stages. Sam Moffet in a similar Evo set fastest time on Stage five before heavy fog caused the cancelation of Stage six for safety reasons. ResultsPosted: March 22, 2013 9:11 PM
