September in Ireland has become synonymous with the awarding of the highly desirable Leinster Trophy, this year again being granted to Formula Vee. The highly popular series didn’t disappoint at Mondello Park last weekend and turned out in strong numbers for this historic occasion.
Formula Ford frontrunner Jordan Kelly made a welcome return to the championship, focused on adding his name to the illustrious roll of honour that includes many former Formula 1 drivers. Kelly made his intentions clear in qualifying, as he was four seconds clear of the field in the wet session. Early retirement in race one, however, allowed series returnee Gavin Buckley to take a fine victory, before Kelly went on to set the record straight in race two with a winning margin of over 5s.
