Phoenix Park Races...

any idea what time the Veyron is going around at.

Well, the races were great craic as usual... but the veyron is officially a bucket of scrap.

It doesn't make any noise at all - you'd expect something that has 1000Hp to have a bit of a bark... but no. There were plumes of smoke coming off the brakes after only two laps of the circuit, braking for only three corners (obviously from a high speed).

The Veyron is fast - the fastest disappointment on the planet.

I enjoyed the "super" cars they just couldnt get any grip. As for the global lights scary in the wet....

Power hosed the kids when i got home..... feckin muck every where.

I know a one lap doesn't mean much but the times are there to see.

The Focus was way faster! 10 seconds faster

Mr Kellet must have thought he was still diving his FIAT racer because his lap time in that was only one second slower than the Veyron!

Nice M3 on the Sunday demonstration run. Denis and I know the lucky owner.

Now I reckon it was the driver's first chance to try and drift it.

She is the girlfriend of Formula Libre number 9 who won from the back of the grid on Sunday and drifted that single seater on nearly every corner.

I think he was the passenger and was probably teaching her how to drift!

Correct

One and the same

The Saddleless Bike is a Trial's Bike and can be described as having 5 first gears!

Dee puts in great work as Paddock Marshal on most of the hillclimbs. It is non stop hurrying us drivers to make the event run more efficently. She deserves the highest praise for doing the job so tirelessly.

You're right Ger, it was my first time on a closed road in my car. And yes, Simon was sitting in with me.

There were so many people watching at the first corner that I didn't enjoy that corner as much. No nerves back at Furry Glen corner though! She's a good little car...
