Chris Steel wins the first round of the Irish National On-Road I.C Championship.

Sunday saw the first round of the Irish National On-Road I.C Championship. A good turn out was present on the day.

We had four classes 200mm I.C, 1/8th I.C, 200mm RTR I.C and 190mm Electric.

200mm I.C:
Shepherd driver Chris Steele using MM novarossi flash was the man to beat setting the pace for the day with T.Q. of the day. Hot on his heels were Shepherd driver Darren Gibb using MM RBM3, Anthony Fitzpatrick, Colm Gaffney, Jacek Zadrozny and Stephen O'Connor which were close on pace all day. A 30min Final was held with a great start from pole sitter Chris. Darren was hot on his heels for most of the final but could not catch the leader. Anthony, Colm and Jacek were in a close battle at the start until Jacek flamed out with engine trouble. This separated the field alot more and there were consistent positions held until Colm ran into trouble and did not return to track. This brought Stephen up to fourth place which he sealed by crossing the finish line. Great racing and clean racing by all. Leader took the win with an impressive 4 laps up on second place Darren.
