The Donegal Motor Club is set to host a round of the Valvoline Irish Forestry Championship this year.
Round three of the Championship will be held around the Donegal town area and will be based in the Abbey Hotel on May 13th next.
The event will also be round two of the hotly contested 2017 Donegal Commercials Club Championship.
2015 was the last time the Irish Forestry championship was in Donegal, but Clerk of the Course Johnny Baird is excited for what lies ahead in May.
The Letterkenny man said: “Preparations and planning are well underway with the help of my team.
“They are all working extremely hard together to pull out all of the stops and make this year’s event that little bit extra special. I would also like to thank all the staff in Coillte for their help to date.
“Everything is now coming together as we add the final touches to the stages and routes.

“This is an event that everyone in Donegal is looking forward to, especially the locals and the businesses around the Donegal Town area.”
On last weekend’s opening round, the Willie Loughman Carrick on Suir Forest Rally it was Josh Moffett & Stephen Thornton in their Fiesta who came out on top stop with a winning margin of 0.06 seconds ahead of his brother Sam Moffett.
This shows the tight nature of the forest championship. Last year’s Champion Desi Henry had a steady start to finish 4th behind Keith Cronin.
