Moore, who'll drive alongside navigator Tom Flegl, has also claimed the crown twice in that period as well and the pair will start as the seventh seeds for the rally, which is once again based out of Towac Park.
While they're naturally expected to be among the contenders there's a lot more competition in the 2019 edition, with Jayke Skeffington and Mark Patroni the number one seeds, while Bathurst's Ray Winwood-Smith will navigate for number two seed Nathan Quinn.
Skeffington and Patroni, in their Subaru WRX, look the front-runners after claiming top spot in the opening round, the Wagga Trucks Rosewood Rally, at the end of March.
The Orange Rally, which acts as the second round of the 2019 Pipe King Southern Cross Rally Series, begins at 8.15am with the first car expected to finish the nine-stage race at around 3.30pm.
The series continues after Saturday's race with the third, fourth, fifth and sixth stages at Bega, Bulahdelah, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie respectively, throughout the remainder of the year, finishing in late October.
