And it’s championship showtime for Formula Vee with Anthony Cross needing to finish inside the top 8 to take the Selco.ie National Championship for the third year in a row.

And we’re ready to hit the track early for qualifying. Cloudy and cool which will really suit the air-cooled Vee engines. No rain expected.
