We hear from Jack Byrne after his first Selco Hygiene Formula Vee championship win

Well what a race that was!!🙈🙊😍

We’re kind of lost for words really 😄

Anthony Cross again had a quick start, pipping Jordan Kelly and taking the lead. Kelly held on for a lap or 2 before falling back into the field. Like in race one, Cross, Reade and Sheane battled each other for the top 3 spots….until Jack Byrne came along.

Byrne powered through, passing each of them one by one….until suddenly he was in the lead. That lead just grew and grew, and Byrne ended up winning the race a whopping 7 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. In doing so, Jack took home his first ever Selco Hygiene National Championship win, AND the prestigious Holmpatrick Trophy 😍

Meanwhile, Karl O Sullivan had a stormer of a race too. Mixing up the front with the top 3 or 4 drivers, making his mark amongst them all and taking home the Motorsport.ie Star of Tomorrow win. An extra sweet result for Karl, as his late father Liam was CoC for the Leinster Trophy race weekend many moons ago.

We will have a full race report from Barry Cregg tomorrow, and plenty of updates with podium pics, driver of the day, the works! They’re all coming your way over the next 2 weeks, in the run up to Kirkistown double-header in just a fortnight’s time 🤩

It’s time for our 2nd Selco Hygiene National Championship race!! Jordan Kelly on pole with Anthony Cross beside him, ready for action!

The results are in!

What a race 🤩 Anthony Cross started strong, passing JordanKelly off the startline. Kelly wasnt far behind, along with Philip Sheane & Mark Reade…and so the battle for the podium ensued 💪🏻

Every lap saw a new top 3, with close racing action and dicing all the way around the track. Jack Byrne wasn’t long catching up to the pack, as Kelly fell further back the grid.

In the meantime, our @motorsport.ie Star of Tomorrow competitors were finding their feet and fighting fit. Karl O Sullivan powered on, but there was no catching up with Kelly. Colm O Loghlen & Michael O Callaghan had a stormer during the last 2 laps of the race, moving quickly up the grid.

Unfortunately, a red flag incident saw the race end 4 minutes early. As a result of this, the results go back 2 laps, to the positions the drivers were in then.

Championship results are as follows:

Selco Hygiene National Championship 🏆
1 – Anthony Cross 🥇
2 – Mark Reade 🥈
3 – Philip Sheane 🥉

VW Spares B Championship 🏆
1 – Mark Reade 🥇
2 – Philip Sheane 🥈
3 – JB Farrell 🥉

Motorsport.ie Star of Tomorrow 🏆
