The Irish Hillclimb Championship visited Wexford last weekend. The Wexford Hillclimb is organised on a different road every year. This year the Carrig-on-Bannow Hillclimb was picked to host both days of the weekend. There was however a crucial difference between the two days as Day 1 was competed over a 2200 metres long course. While the day after the finish line was moved 400 metres downhill.
Joe Courtney improved his championship lead with victories on both days. On Saturday the Reynard 913 pilot was challenged hard by Robert Dwane. However Dwane crashed his car in Sunday practise and could not continue. Rory Stephens moved up to second but he was a lot slower than Courtney.
