Team Ireland at the oOple Invernational 2012 - 27/28/29 July

[Legacy555]

Just had my entry confirmed
Hopefully I have a few tyres from the Euros left over

[Legacy555]

Time to start thinking about your tyres for this meeting.
MSD Models can supply them - but I'd recommend getting your order in during the next few weeks.

im not sure if this is correct but i think in the rhr dirt thread it says that the tyres are controlled and that they are a new tyre because they dont want to destroy the track. i remeber reading that not sure if its right tho?

Yeah, that's right.
The control tyre is the Proline Holeshot for driven axles.

Luckily, that's the Euros control tyre too

Second video from RHR showing the jump layout.
Looks like a really hard surface!!

[James]

Its really crumbly at the minute after all the awful weather! For the race itself though yes the surface will be very similar to that video

[Legacy555]

Really looking forward to this!!!

Weather is starting to look really good for the weekend.
Friday: sunshine
Saturday: Sunshine with slight possibility of localised/light shower <1mm
Sunday: Sunshine with slight possibility of localised/light shower <1mm
Could be a completely dry weekend on the track!

As for the latest teaser video of the track - it looks really well thought out - nice timing sections and not alot of dust.... this could be epic!

[dmcracing]

Yes savage track,fingers crossed for the weather,makes the euros track look like a dump!

Every track has it's good and bad points - I really enjoyed the track in Fehring, although I do much prefer a track that requires timing and driving subtlety....like Kampenhout....RHR Dirt looks to be the same

[The Doktor]

Good luck at the invernational lads! Make sure you show them how real drinking is done!


.. oh and the same with the racing

Hi all,

Thanks to those who emailed/txt/oople pm me wishes of good luck before the oople race. They worked!!!

Qualified C1 in 2wd, won the first leg by a 12 seconds, but then the luck ran out and I failed to finishe leg 2 and 3. So C5 was the final result.

Qualified B10 in 4wd, DEX410V3 was awesome!!! Seriously competitive finals, ended up B8.

Brilliant event! Highly recommended

[h0m3sy]

From all the reports I've seen so far, sounds like it was a real good fun weekends racing and partying. Deffo going to apply for a place for next year. Well done on all your results guys.
