Round 1 of the Irish Touring Car Championship took part recently at Mondello Park
On pole was the former J's Racing CRX, now run by Tuning Factory
Second on the grid was Martin Tracey in the Westward Engineering RS500 Sierra Cosworth
Third was Tomas O'Rourkes Astra
and fourth was Brian Sextons Urban Per4mance Honda Integra
Onto the race and a storming start from O'Rourke saw him jump into the lead...
...chased down by the pack
But it didnt take long for Martin Tracey to take the lead and a sizeable one at that, he was soon lapping the field
but with a few tight battles going on midfield
and more than 1 case of doorhandling going on!
But Tracey was not to be caught and victory was his!Round 2 is at Kirkistown on April 24th
