Our second track day at Mondello Park on February 3rd 2017 was another sell-out event, which to be honest was unexpected what with it being so close to Christmas. We had a great mix of cars as you can see from the gallery below. All things considered the weather was even pretty good with the morning session dry and the afternoon a bit greasy as a light drizzle of rain lingered in the air.

Us Irish love a good underdog story. It’s in our nature that we just adore the thought of David sticking it to Goliath. Tales of heroics live long in the memory and are often recounted with a wistful smile and a stirring pump of a fist. A call of ‘Go on ya Boyo’ is never far away in these instances.

Right through primary school, ask me what I wanted to become and...

I had spent years dreaming of my first car being a Jap import or something fast. I was lucky enough to have friends who were older than me and would own these very cars...

There’s an absolute ton of new cars launching in 2017, the majority aren’t ones we’re even remotely interested in unfortunately but amongst the plethora of boring euroboxes and softroaders there are a handful that we can’t wait to see in the metal – or carbon as the case may be. So let’s cut right to it – In no particular order: Ford Focus RS500 If the current Focus RS is anything to go by the RS500 is set to be an absolute cracker. It certainly looks the part anyway. Power should be up from the RS’s 345bhp and weight should...
