Well… what a way to finish off the Hillclimb season, the Hillclimb Masters was an event of epic proportions. Side-by-side on the grid the top drivers lined up; from Italy, from Austria, from Switzerland and Ireland of course too.
Drivers like Simone Faggioli of Italy a multi European Hillclimb champion, Nicolas & Geoffrey Schatz of France, Eric Berguerand of Switzerland, to name but a few.
So how did our guys fair? Well… pretty dam good! Team Ireland finished in sixth position in the Nations Cup, when you consider the machinery of the opposition that’s an incredible result.
We have just started upload some of the action from the event and I think the pictures speak for themselves.
Our sincere thanks to all the Marshals, and especially Patrick Weber for all his help…
So the hills are over for another year, but don’t forget the Big Bash in Carlow on November the 1st in the Seven Oaks Hotel. Contact Paul Doyle on 086-0262015 or Ken Treacy on 087 6854587 for tickets.
A big Thank you to Denis Hogan of www.irishhillclimbs.com for the help and support throughout the year.
