We were absolutely delighted to be part of the first road race in the South in a number of years — and what a way to bring it back! The Kells Road Races delivered an unforgettable weekend of action, atmosphere, and adrenaline.
With fantastic weather setting the perfect stage, the crowds turned out in force to support some incredible racing talent. The energy around the circuit was electric from start to finish! ☀️🏍️
We’re especially proud to have sponsored the Open 201–1000cc Race 2, showcasing some of the most thrilling, high-speed racing of the weekend. Huge congratulations to all the winners and competitors — your skill, determination, and bravery made for incredible racing throughout the day. 🏆👏
A big thank you as well to everyone who came over to our marquee to chat with the team — it was great to meet so many fellow biking enthusiasts and catch up throughout the weekend! 🙌
Massive credit to the organisers, volunteers, and everyone behind the scenes who made the return of racing in the South such a resounding success. 👏
Here’s to many more safe and exciting race days ahead!🏁🏍️
