French Director Stephane Benini ha spent the best part of a year cataloguing his vision of what the ‘Ring means, and how to transfer that motor sport noise , feel and addiction that draw people to the Green Hell in their thousands every year. It also tries to capture the track itself in it’s rawness and what it does to man and machine. This movie covers new machines, vintage machines (check out the Gulf GT40 and the John Player F1 Car), and also two wheeled merchants at the ‘ring.

I’m looking forward to the full version, check out the sound off the Aston Martin DB9R

It was a busy weekend for motorsport championships all round with a number of championships being decided. In a great weekend for Irish motorsport, two Irish pairings won major rally championships in Britain and Italy and a Meath driver is the favourite to take an American racing title. Keith Cronin from Bantry and his Limerick co-driver Greg Shinnors scored their third International win of the year, to clinch the British Rally Championship, the first Irish crew to take the title since the legendary Billy Coleman, 35 years ago.

The 23 year old West Cork driver, the 2007 winner of the Billy Coleman Award for Young Rally Driver of the Year, won three of the six rounds in his Cremins Coaches Mitsubishi Evo 9 and finished second in two more behind three times champion Mark Higgins.
