Had an amazing turnout of drivers and ran them swiftly through a Top 32 to finish with a very well deserved top 3 of:

1st Simon Muldrew
2nd Stewie Gilmore
3rd Brendan Stone

We'd really like to thank everyone who turned out from drivers to spectators, especially those who braved the rain to see the final.

We'd also like to thank Danni Murphy and the MG Crash Repair / Just Jap boys,
(Mark Gaffney, Brendan Stone, Paul Murphy, Richy O'Neill, Keith O'Shea and Stephen Murphy), for making the trip all the way up.

Also a big thanks to Monster Energy and the lads from the Prodrift Academy for bringing the car and supporting our event.
