We’ve always said that Formula Vee is a family class … our families act as our mechanics, crews, chefs, and biggest cheerleaders…not just mid-season, but all year-long….

Leastone Racing may have taken this a little further 🙈😄

Leastone mechanic and driver Mark Reade and his partner Brenda welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their family earlier this year…and Leastone Boss Paul Heavey was determined to include her in the team!😆 Congratulations to Mark & Brenda on their new arrival!💝 … See more

The last minute belt checks…buckling down, settling the nerves, the butterflies in the stomach …. the pre-race feels are like no other!

We’re STILL on a high from our first Selco Hygiene double header 2 weeks ago, and the countdown is officially on for Kirkistown…all going well 🙈

With Kildare, Laois, Offaly on lockdown, and Mondello Park closed for a fortnight, none of us want that trend to continue country-wide, or beyond 2 weeks. It is so important that, once again, we all pull together by staying apart. Stay safe, stay local, wash hands and wear masks. We’re all in this together, and we all want to come out of it together too ❤

We’re back with our first Driver of the Day of 2020!

Last weekend in Mondello Park brought a double-header in our Selco Hygiene National Championship. With 24 cars on the grid, we saw top quality racing, both from our rookies and our returning drivers.

For our round 1 driver of the day, there was a stand-out winner. His first time ever racing a Vee, having done just 2 test days beforehand, our Driver of the Day goes to our Motorsport.ie Star of Tomorrow competitor, Ronan Waters 😊

Have a read below of how Ronan’s day went for him!

“Friday was my second test day In Mondello, and overall, it was a good day. There was, however, a few teething problems such as oil leaks, which had to be sorted before Sunday. Myself and the team thought we had it sorted in time for scrutiny early Sunday morning.

Sunday morning I qualified 15th on the grid which I felt was good enough for me as it was my first day.

So race one of the day came. I got off to a good start, kept out of trouble, got up to p9 and was holding position for half of the race, and then came into contact with another driver which led to a spin. I lost maybe 4 positions after this spin. However in the meantime there was a few other incidents which then brought me back up to 12th position.

I didn’t give up, I kept going and drove the rest of the race. I finished first in the rookies.

Race two went well. I started off strong, and then the race was red flagged twice as there was two incidents which ended the race for a few good competitors. The third restart didn’t go as well as I hoped, I started in p15 and ended to finish race two 13th overall.

Overall, the Vee held up well. Unfortunately we had an oil problem, which myself and the team plan on getting to the bottom of for the next day out.

All in all I had a great experience for my first time racing Formula Vee, and look forward to Kirkistown next month. I’d like to thank all the team who helped me out all weekend 😊”

Huge congratulations to Ronan on a fantastic day’s racing, and particularly on his win in race 1. It was well-deserved, and we look forward to seeing him race again in Kirkistown in a month’s time!🤩
