Team Ireland

Robert Dwane Falcon Mini

Nicolas Schatz Norma M20FC-BMW

Next Saturday and Sunday week will see Team Ireland go
head-to-head against Europe’s top drivers in the inaugural running of the FIA Hillclimb Masters. Over the last few weeks the drivers have been busy stripping and rebuilding their cars to maximise their performance.

There are now six drivers representing Ireland at this prestigious event which includes Robert Dwane the winner of Class 3A and the fastest junior driver. Robert is a very talented driver and he will be driving his Mini Falcon.

Motorsport Ireland has appointed Tommy Murphy the chairman of the Hillclimb and sprint committee as captain of Team Ireland and he has selected Simon McKinley, Deirdre McKinley, Rory Stephens and Eanna Carroll to contest the Nations Cup.

Ireland will be up against drivers like the French champion Nicolas Schatz; Nicolas will be driving a Norma M20FC-BMW and his brother Geoffrey will also be competing in his Reynard 95D-Mugen.
