This coming Saturday sees one of the most Iconic hills of Irish Motorsport in action, The Corkscrew Hill Ballyvaughan Co Clare.
Already the entry list is practically bulging with talent, current Irish champion Sylvie Mullins the hill record holder will line up alongside double champion Simon McKinley, Triple champion Paul O’Connell, and Frank Byrnes the winner of back to back Irish & Northern Irish Hillclimb Championships.
The weekend is turning into a real race of champions.
Sylvie Mullins in his amazing Gould GR37 will be hard to catch, but he’ll be under pressure from Simon McKinley, Paul O’Connell and Frank Byrnes.
Rory Stephens will début his new Radical SR8, this 450BHP monster eats tarmac at a frightening rate and is ideally suited to Corkscrew tight twists and turns, Dermot Nolan in his new Reynard will also be keeping the lads under pressure at the front, the Red Baron will be ready to pounce at the slightest mistake.
Padraig Ford in his Scott Hillclimber will also be at the start line this weekend, the Scott is a very fast car and well capable of mixing it up with the top lads at the front.
This is one of the “must not miss” events of the year, it is seldom you get so many champions pitted against one and other. So take my advice, don’t miss this one, and get there early.
