CLIENT: Irish Motorsport Annual 2008

The Irish Motorsport Annual is the Bible for motorsport enthusiasts throughout Ireland and beyond. Edited by rally driver Andrew Bushe and with the incomparable Michael O'Carroll retained as consulting editor after his 30 year stint in the editor’s hotseat, The Irish Motorsport Annual is full of wisdom, wit, exhaustive knowledge and boundless enthusiasm from cover to cover. The Irish Motorsport Annual is unique in that it combines both car and motor cycle sports, as well as kart racing.

The 2008 edition is the 31st Annual and celebrates a fantastic year in Irish motorsport, a year that brought the World Rally Championship to these shores for the very first time. The event was an amazing success and The Irish Motorsport Annual celebrates the achievements of the organisers with some outstanding photography and memorable comment from the likes of Vincent Hogan and Michael Lytser from the Rally itself. The first round of the 2009 Championship will be held in Ireland and The Irish Motorpsort Annual will be first with a review of the biggest event on next year’s Irish sporting calendar.

The 2008 Annual also reflects on a great year for Irish competitors with over 200 action packed pages and 350 colour photographs. Beautifully designed and produced, the Annual features Sebastien Loeb, Martin Finnegan, Niall Quinn, Eugene Donnelly, Ray Breen, Gareth MacHale, Kevin Lynch, Austin McHale and Rory Galligan amongst others.

“By combining all disciplines in the one book, we have cemented the sport, and hopefully we have also helped it to progress as an entity,” said Michael O’Carroll. “We are critical of those in the sport who deserve disapproval. We make honest suggestions that should help into the future, and we salute the stars – the young and the not so young.”

The Irish Motorsport Annual 2008, 31 years after John Watson won the Austrian Grand Prix, is for followers and enthusiasts in all parts of Ireland.

The Irish Motorsport Annual 2008 is on sale in all good newsagents and bookshops, priced at €9.99 or £6.75. Alternatively, Locall 1850 689789 to order your copy direct from the publisher.
