Galway-based rally driver Aoife Raftery is set to make her long-awaited return to Irish gravel rallying at this weekend's Clare Forestry Rally as part of the Irish Forest Rally Championship.

When Aoife Raftery recounts spinning her suped-up Peugeot around an unexpectedly wet bend on a rough gravel course in Czech Republic last year, her shoulders sway with the memory. Wearing a sleeveless top in the morning heat of Gran Canaria where this year’s 47th Rally Islas Canarias begins today, May 2, the muscle memory of fast gear changes twitches in her exposed fore arms.

Aoife Raftery has achieved her best performance in an FIA European Rally Championship event by finishing fourth overall. This is three places better than previously, when she finished seventh in the Czech Republic last season.
