With one round remaining Michael Byrne wrapped up the ORCA Championship in Ireland over the weekend with a faultless drive to his third win of the series at the St.Annes Park track driving his Serpent 960.


Starting from second on the grid, Byrne set the fastest lap of the 20-minute final on his way to a comfortable victory over the Kyosho of Nico Azzariti with young Serpent driver Sean Doyle completing the podium in third with his 960.  The win means Byrne can't be caught in the points standings.

In the 1:10 200mm A Final it was another success for Serpent with Chris Lawlor taking his 720 to victory having started from pole.  Colm Gaffney made it two Serpent's on the podium finishing in third.  In the 1:10 championship Serpent driver Robert Boylan tops the standings from Gaffney with one round left to run.
