Team Shepherd - Irlanda



"Shepherd Ireland has continued their winning streak at the 4th round of the Irish Championship. Velox V8 driver Ian Campbell and Velox V10 driver Chris Steel both again had a perfect weekend taking TQ, winning the A-final and setting the best laptime.

At the beginning of the 1/8th finale Campbell battled with Clive Connolly, who started from 2nd on the grid. Bothy held the top two positions until Campbell pitted for tyres at the half-way mark and dropped to 3rd. Connolly retired a few laps later which moved Campbell up to second, before passing Eoin Doran 13 laps before the finish to take the win.

Chris Steele took a convincing win too, leading from start to finish, ahead of Chris Lawlor - who seemed to be the only driver with a possibility of challenging Steele’s Velox V10. Darren Gibb, driving his V10 lost his top-3 position to Keith Dempsey on the opening lap, finally finishing the race in 4th position.


As he won every round of the nationals so far, Campbell crowned himself the Irish Champion 1/8th Scale 2010 already two rounds before the end of the season. Also Chris Steele has won all national rounds in the 1/10th Scale classe, but the touring car drivers count 5 out of 7 races."

Best regards
