It’s time for our Driver of the Day for our Selco Hygiene National Championship round 7 in Mondello Park last weekend! 🤩
This driver raced Vees many moons ago, and has been running other Vee-racing drivers in more recent times. However, this season felt like the apt time to return to the grid, and he most certainly made his mark early on in the race!
This week’s Driver of the Day is Trevor Delaney! Read below for his account of his brilliant race!
“It was great to get out in a Vee again, but it was nearly not to be with not getting any sleep Thursday night. We decided we would get in some Friday afternoon testing, and see how things went. Things went well, with some sixty two second flat laps. There were still some handling and braking issues carried over from last year’s Formula Vee Festival, where we did no testing, and only finished the car the Sunday morning of the event. We made some changes to the car on Friday evening, and got to bed early. The next morning, I felt refreshed after a good sleep and good to go. Qualy went well, eventually taken fourth on the grid after holding third place until the last lap.
The race itself started well, taking third before the first corner, and just behind the two front guys. Soon after, however, the red flag came out for an incident. On the restarted race, I again reached third position, and settled into a good pace. I did develop a slight hesitation, which left me unable to attack the two guys in front, so I took a third at the drop of the flag.
It was great to be part of the Vee paddock once again, with its welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It really goes to show why it is still one of the best classes in Irish Motorsport.”
Many thanks and well done to Trevor on a great race, & hopefully we’ll see him on the grid in the near future again!🤗 … See more
