Ireland’s only three-day event is considered the Holy Grails of Irish rallying and a win in the northwest is akin to an All-Ireland football medal in this part of the world.
Muckross man O’Sullivan and his driver Callum Devine have won three of the biggest Irish rallies on the trot.
Their winning streak started on the Circuit of Ireland Rally over the Easter weekend, and this was quickly followed by a second Rally of the Lakes win in late April.
Adding the Donegal title to their list of impressive wins this season puts them in the driving seat to win the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship.
Last weekend’s result more than made up for the disappointment of their 2022 attempt at the Donegal Rally.
They crashed out on Sunday morning of the 2022 event while in a battle for the event lead.
“It is great to get the job done especially after the way last year ended for us, It felt a bit like unfinished business,” said O’Sullivan.
“It’s feels very special to join the list of winners of this iconic rally.”
Their main title rivals, Josh Moffett and Andy Hayes crashed out of the Donegal event on Sunday meaning that the Kerry/Derry pairing now has a 15-point advantage at the head of the table with just the Cork ‘20’ and the Ulster International left to run.

A private developer has been given planning permission to build 249 new residential units at Upper Park Road.
The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.
The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.
“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.
Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.
Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.
One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.
Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.
“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.
One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.
A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:
“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.
“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.
“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.
“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.
“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.
“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
