What a fantastic weekend!!! All the racers did team Ireland proud!! Great performances from all and a marked improvement on last year - especially from Ian Hunter - Durango looked great all of Sunday - his result doesn't match his performance!!. High qualifying from Mick and Will showed that we are getting there!!! May it continue!

Well done to all !!! Rumour is that it may be Moto-Arena in Silverstone next year :drool:

8th in the I final will.

Tony K won his final from 10th on the grid.

I'd say drive of the team.

Even after all the issues with inference and glue related madness........

Hi Lads,

Fair play to everybody on the Irish team, you did us proud:thumbsup:

I looked at a few of the heats & one of the finals live, it almost felt like I was there.

Best bit was Will's description of the 'Wall of Death' very funny :D:D

You're not the only one - Moto Arena is overdue a pilgrimage in my case...

Who had the Durango, and how many entrants were there in each class?

Me for the Durango and about 140 in each class.

Gave up on the Cat then?

Good result, guys - I've heard the standard is very high at the Petit. Perhaps I'll get a chance to try avoiding the wooden spoon...

The preparation the Irish Team put into the Petit race was fantastic. It's great to see top class athletes honing their skills, minds & bodies to ensure they are in tip top condition to conduct battle on the track.

This one picture just sums up the hard core commitment the Irish Team has: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/petit.../DSC_4202.html
