Now for more ERC learning, says Moffett

Irishman Moffett finished fifth among the ERC Junior U28 contenders on Rally Rzeszow and is already looking ahead to the next outing in his Combilift Rallying Ford Fiesta R5.

“I was happy enough with stage one [on Rally Rzeszow] but on stage two we just lost our rhythm completely and the brakes went pretty bad towards the second half of the stage and we ended up going into a field and had a very bad stage. I think we dropped around 40 seconds but I’m surprised that’s all it was.

“We had some brake problems and the medium tyres didn’t work for us on Saturday morning. We had hard tyres for the afternoon but we still had problems with the brakes. The heat was so hard on everything. It was a right difficult event but we enjoyed it and learned a lot. It would have been nice to have been a few places further up but it is what it is and now Zlín will be another new learning curve.”
