Galway and West Cork are pretty substantially different, both in terms of the nature of the stages, and the usual conditions competitors can expect to face.
The fact that Moffett in the i20 performed as well in the torrential rain and slippery, technical stages of Galway as he did in the dry, much faster lanes of West Cork suggests it'll be a tough task for anyone to beat him for the rest of the year.
Devine needs to hope the gearbox in the Polo isn't as fragile in his hands as the Fiesta's seemed to be with him behind the wheel...
Anyway, we won't learn too much this weekend, since it's only really a warm-up for the big race in Killarney in two weeks' time then we'll see fireworks!

On fast tarmac roads Polo R5 is still the best.

To be fair there's not much between the top drivers here and it could just be who was feeling good on the day deciding the results, not their cars.
Plus Josh Moffett has been around a while now and won the Irish National Championship last year, so he could just leading on skill regardless of machinery.

Pity the forum's been down as the CoI was really exciting. Enjoyed the live coverage and great battles at the top.

I kept checking the website to see any news - and nothing, so presumed no spectators. Only to find out on Friday evening on the British Rally forum that spectator areas were being prepared. Too late by then, I had no supplies in. Even now the website hasn't been updated.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

The main thing was that there was a battle and no car or driver was dominant.
Henry led in the Fiesta and took big time on some of stages until his engine caused retirement. Moffett in the i20 was very quick and consistent throughout. Devine showed good pace in his new Polo and then Fisher came up with a great finale and won it with a run of fastest times in his VW..

Rally Maps still has the note "⚠️ No spectators allowed! ⚠️"... https://www.rally-maps.com/Tour-of-Epynt-2022
Funny old game, following British rallying.

I mapped the event two weeks ago and at that time they were saying no spectators. Seb (The owner of the website) holds those events until after they have run. I did not bother amending this, my apologies.
