This weekend's Trailer Parts and Spares Lakeland Stages will spotlight a thrilling 16-mile Ballintempo stage.

The event, on September 7, signifies the intensification of the McGrady Insurance Northern Ireland Forest Rally Challenge, with three rounds taking place over two months.

Enniskillen and District Motor Club, the organisers, have confirmed more than 90 participating cars.

Championship leader Derek Mackarel, who topped the points back in February at the Fivemiletown opener, and last year's rally victors, Patrick and Stephen O’Brien in a Skoda Fabia R5, are among the entrants.

Newcomer Vivian Hamill, previous Jim Walsh Cork Forest Rally winner Jason Mitchell, and Jordan Hone, recent gravel win recipient, are also set to compete.

The event initiates from the Grovenor Barracks service area in Enniskillen at 10.30am with a 2.4-mile stage one, Conagher, at 11.08am, followed by a 16-mile Ballintempo challenge before midday.
