Over 100 drivers made up 21 teams that participated in the Fiesta Endurance 6 hour race. The event took place on Sunday at midday and the winner took the chequered flag in the dark. The event was open to the public for the day, and it was well attended.
One name that caught the attention of the spectators and the media was Michael Fassbender, the well-known actor and sometimes race driver, who travelled to Ireland to drive a Siltex Safety Ford Fiesta Zetec against a horde of club and international racers. He partnered with former Grand Prix drivers David Kennedy and Tommy Byrne in a POB Motorsport run car, alongside newly crowned Siltex Safety Zetec champion Michael Barrable and his sons Peter and Rob, who have won this event twice before including the 2022 event.
Other notable names included LMP3 driver Lucca Allen, son of celebrity chef Rachel, who partnered with fellow sportscar racer Hampus Ericsson, brother of F1 driver Marcus. Experienced UK Racer David Meenan teamed up with Graeme Colfer and Matt Dunnion in the GCR car while GT4 star Alex Denning used to win the last two rounds of the championship a few weeks ago.
The race was supported by Circle K Ireland, and competitors were only allowed to use their milesPLUS fuel during qualifying and the race. The event was highly competitive, and the Rabbitt Brothers Racing team emerged victorious, followed by Team Barrable/POB Racing and LOH Old/New. This year's race was undoubtedly thrilling, and it was a great opportunity for motorsport fans to witness an exciting event.
