Well guys, was anyone else there?

As good as they tried to get the racing going again, they need a backup plan if something like that happens in future. Be it holding the racing over two days or having yellow zones if oil like that spills again.

But, chances are we may have gotten 3 races in if it wasn't for the blooming bomb scare that happened. What a shame.

Im sure Relentless as a brand made a killing in merchandise sales.
 
I watched it online, you're right, it was quite a shame. :(

Anyway these guys are incredible, there's nothing like Irish Road Racing in my opinion. :) :cheers:
 
I was going to post a link to the online coverage on here so other GTPers from around the world could watch it. Glad I didn't now. That bomb scare was just embarrassing for the whole country.

I was surprised they weren't able to clean up the oil, although I understand the rain washed it along the track. I think you're right though, they should have at least been able to get the bikes out even if it was just for a display ride or something. I admire the fans who sat out in the rain all day in the hope of seeing something.

I'll probably be going to university at Coleraine in September so should be able to go and see it for myself next year:)
