He finished 12th in Sligo and 15th in Clare, despite lateness penalties in his home rally which dropped him from a possible 13th position.
Michael started out in September 2016 in the Clare Stages Rally and immediately showed his pace, taking a comfortable class win, almost twelve minutes ahead of his closest rival.
The winner of the award receives €50,000 worth of support to contest rallies nationally & internationally in 2019.
