Armoy takes up back up towards the North Coast of Northern Ireland, and this year marks the 10th anniversary of the ‘Race of Legends.’
Run over two days the Armoy races consists of a Friday Practice Day (with 2 races at the end of the day) and then Saturday Race Day which was scheduled for 11 Races.
Unfortunately that was not to be.
The Saturday Racing was abandoned due to truly atrocious weather.
This weekend saw the road racing schedule return to the Republic of Ireland for the Faugheen 50 Road Races.
As you will see from the results below Derek McGee remains the man to beat with 14 wins, from his last 14 entries. Impressive! This weekend’s stats are simply 5 entries – 5 wins!
Read on for the results of the 2018 Faugheen 50 Road Races :
The 2018 Walderstown Road Races were held on 14th – 15th July.
The races, thankfully, passed off without major incident and Derek McGee surged to 4 victories including the feature superbike race.
Read on for the full results of what I believe to have been the first proper wet session of the Irish calendar – I remember Cookstown getting the odd shower but after Ireland being being baked in a recent heatwave it had to break and Walderstown was the first session where wet tyres were the only option – all day!
Derek McGee took four great wins at the 2018 Walstown ‘Race of the South’ Road Races

After a 66 year absence road racing returned this weekend to Enniskillen, in the form of the relaunched and revitalised Enniskillen 100. Further to that it is extremely pleasing to be able to report that everything about the event was positive.
No red flags, no injuries, a full and comprehensive race scehule (along with a packed Practice and Qualifying Session on 29/06/2018).
Couple all the above with a record equalling 5 race wins in a day for Derek McGee (and it could have been six, as he had entered six races but due to the five races in a day rule had to withdraw from one.)
The result was an epic days racing, and don’t forget the weather – we can do nothing about it but when it is with us it hard to beat. At 29.4 degrees Celsius it was an absolute scorcher with wall to wall sunshine from well before the race started until it set for the evening.
Hopefully next year the meeting will have Championship status and will tempt in an even larger field of competitors. Which is only a good thing for the greatest sport on the planet!
