Young Tallaght racing driver looking forward to new season

A YOUNG local racing driver is set to embark on the adventure of a lifetime after having a very memorable year in 2022.

Daire Flock is a 15 year old from Tallaght who is all set to compete in his second season of car racing in the Junior Saloon Car Championship (JSCC)

With ten podiums and five fastest laps in his first season, he will be looking to challenge for the 2023 crown.

There will be plenty of action for Daire with 10 rounds in the season calendar, which includes four triple header meetings totalling twenty-four races, a record breaker for the JSCC.

Speaking to Daire (pictured above), we had a chance to get his thoughts on the season ahead.

“I am very excited to be racing for Westbourne Motorsport for a second year and to improve on last year and push for the championship,” the young Tallaght driver said.

“The JSCC is a good starting point for any young driver’s circuit career as its age range is limited for 14–17 year olds.”

Racing on the UK’s most famous circuits such as Silverstone and Brands Hatch, Daire will be fighting against 29 other teenage stars battling it out for the overall championship.

Daire will be running under the Westbourne Motorsport team, statistically the most successful JSCC team there is and this is what team boss Ben Colburn had this to say:

“We are really pleased to have Daire onboard with us for a second year.

“Pre-season testing has gone really well so far for Daire, and we will be looking at challenging for the JSCC Championship with him.”
