Formula Vee Ireland and the Leinster Motor Club has announced that the class will race for the 2026 Leinster Trophy at the upcoming meeting of the ICCR, on September 13th in Mondello Park.

The Leinster Trophy is one of Ireland’s most famous automotive prizes, having been won by Formula 1 World Champions Ayrton Senna and Mika Hakkinen, and a plethora of young Irish talents.

The trophy, traditionally contested by a single seater class, has been competed for by Formula Vee for three consecutive years. Winners include Lee Newsome, Dan Polley, and most recently, Ronan Doherty.

It is bound to be an exhilarating contest in Mondello Park.

INDYCAR’s Milwaukee Mile Race 1 was red flagged for a total of 25 hours and 40 minutes before resuming under caution at the Wisconsin circuit.

Rain came down after 91 laps of the opening race of the weekend and due to the safety concerns of racing with moisture on the surface on an oval, the race never got underway again last night.

Remarkably, Race 2 of the weekend took place before the resumption of Race 1. Mexican Pato O’Ward took the win, and will lead the field to green as he was the leader of Race 1 at the red flag.

It isn’t the longest red flag period in INDYCAR. The 2016 Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway was red flagged for a total of 76 days.

Another strong showing from Portlaoise’s Casey O’Gorman in this morning’s Moto3 race at Aragon as he comes in seventh.

The SIC58 Squadra Corse racer sits 19th in the Moto3 standings, but has been very strong on separate occasions, including a front row qualifying position in Texas.

O’Gorman narrowly avoided a collision, after a crash occurred between Tech3 teammates Rico Salmela and Valentin Perrone right in front of him. The race saw another collision for New Zealand’s Cormac Buchanan.

The race was won by championship leader Maximo Quiles, who holds a 97 point lead over Spaniard Alvaro Carpe.

O’Gorman will return to racing at the San Marino GP, at the Misano circuit named after the late Marco Simoncelli.

Formula 3 driver Bruno del Pino told Spanish motorsport outlet ‘Soy Motor’ that one of the first drivers to ask him about the new ‘Madring’ circuit was Ireland’s Alex Dunne.

The Spaniard had a quick response for his good friend, to which he replied “is it so you can crash?” 😅.

The Van Amersfoort Racing driver went on to say the two are good friends. Del Pino is the nephew of former F1 driver Pedro De La Rosa, and is slightly behind Dunne on his junior category career, entering his second F3 season.

Good banter from the man currently 2nd in the F2 standings 😂.

Best of luck to Jack Fildes who is hitting the circuit this weekend in the Monoposto Racing Club at Donington Park!

🏁 Welcome to Jack Fildes and his F305

Hailing from County Meath, Ireland, 17 yr old Jack has his first Monoposto outing in the F3A class this weekend. He’s no stranger to racing having started aged 14 with six wins in Junior Minis, Ireland. He has also competed in a few singleseater races in this F305 with BOSS Ireland. Jack holds the Jnr Mini lap record for Angelsey.

The Fildes are a racing family and Jack is the 4th generation racer. His grandad, John Watson’s teammate, still holds the Aintree lap record racing an F2.

Their F305 won the British F3 championship in 2005 for Carlin Racing. It sat in the Carlin reception from 2011 until last October when it was acquired by the Fildes.

Welcome to Monoposto, Jack & the Fildes!

Formula Vee race winner Sean McClements Racing returns to track action on September 12th around the Mondello Park International layout ⬇️

We will be hitting the track again soon!

After a bad crash in April we were took off track back to spectators for a while. But after a huge effort from my dad and everyone who has helped me along the way, we will be racing in Mondello park in 2 weeks time.

It won’t be any old return. We will be racing the international track at mondello! After the engine failure last year in testing we hope for a better run at it this year.

Huge efforts from everyone to get me on grid with exceptional support. I cannot thank everyone enough, it wouldn’t have been possible without you all!

Sponsorship is open for the Emmerson Fittipaldi if any companies are interested! Send me a text at 07485121647

Thanks to all my current sponsors too - ND MEDIA - Kilrea Autos And Detailing - Peden Security - Validify - Bwoah Motorsport - Zest - PD Decals

Keep an eye on my socials over next few weeks.

Ireland’s Alex Dunne has received a significant blow to his future F1 chances, as Franco Colapinto has re-signed with Alpine for 2027.

The Alpine development driver was a front runner to replace Colapinto if his results did not improve. Results picking up to the level of teammate Pierre Gasly, alongside significant sponsorship, has allowed for a contract extension from Flávio Briatore.

Dunne, who races for Rodin in Formula 2, is still very much a part of the team as a development prospect, and who’s to say Colapinto will fulfil to contract. For now however, Formula 1 opportunities in the very near future are narrowing.

Dunne’s focus will be on F2’s return next weekend at Monza.

A decent morning of testing complete for Hitech’s Fionn McLaughlin who ended the morning session of F3 testing at Madring in 6th position.

The new Madrid circuit saw lap times close to two minutes for F3 spec machinery, with Ugo Ugochukwu and Freddie Slater the pace setters across the two sessions.

6th is promising signs for McLaughlin however. The Magherafelt native has had his fair share of struggles this season, but the Red Bull backed driver is improving every weekend!

The Spanish Grand Prix and feeder series races take on the weekend of September 11th-13th at the new Madrid venue.

It is a win at the famous Spa Francorchamps for Brandon McCaughan and Team Virage in the Ligier European Series!

After a podium in yesterday’s opening race, the No.1 car ran at the front and finally put their bad luck behind them to take the win.

Well done lads!
