On August 27th and 28th, the 500 Motor Racing Club of Ireland in association with the Leinster Motor Club, put on a race event featuring a variety of racing classes: Formula BOSS Ireland, SuperKarts, FF1600, Formula Vee, Roadsports, Fiesta Zetec and a combined grid of Saloons, GTs and Mazda MX5s. The fastest class in Irish motor also returned to Kirkistown, ‘BOSS’ Ireland.
BOSS stands for ‘Big Open Single Seaters’ where there are very few vehicle restrictions in this case, with even Formula 1 cars are eligible. They took the feature race of the day for the Leinster Trophy. The last time northern race fans were treated to the Leinster Trophy was 1967 when it was awarded at Bishopscourt in Co Down.
Sylvie Mullins (car No.31) took the Leinster Trophy after Paul O’Connell (race favourite in car No10) spun out late on to leave Mullins on the lead which he held conformably to the chequered Flag.
