A big thank you to our truck drivers Paudie Crean &John Holland for their hard work very early this morning in difficult weather conditions when putting out the bales on the stages.
We were also joined this morning by another helper as Sophie Holland decided to help out also.
We are glad to hear that both Frank and Lauren are ok after this major accident yesterday. We hope to see then out on the stages again soon. All the best

Frank Kelly's massive off from the Circuit of Ireland. Thankfully both crew members were ok. The onboard footage of the crash can be viewed on their YouTube page -

winner in 1992 and 1993 winner John Price. Here is a short clip of John in West Cork in his iconic and probably the best ever livery to appear on a Metro 6R4.
