Historic BriSCA F1 Weekend Makes Motorsport History
Nutts Corner Raceway welcomed one of the biggest events ever staged in Northern Ireland oval racing over the weekend as BriSCA F1 Stock Cars raced in Ireland for the very first time in a landmark meeting hosted in conjunction with Yorstox Promotions.
The major two-day event marked not only the first appearance of BriSCA F1 Stock Cars in Northern Ireland, but also the first ever BriSCA F1 event held anywhere on the island of Ireland. Teams and supporters travelled from across the United Kingdom and Ireland for the occasion, creating a tremendous atmosphere throughout the weekend both on and off track.
Saturday’s BriSCA F1 action immediately produced a piece of history as Ant Whorton-Eales won the opening ever BriSCA F1 race staged in Ireland. Driving the 408 machine, Whorton-Eales headed home Brooke Kitson and former British Champion Paul Hines in the A&B Heat after a superb opening contest.

The BriSCA F2 Stock Cars also produced excellent racing throughout Saturday’s packed programme which consisted of a National Championship race, three qualifying heats for Sunday’s Irish Open Championship and the Trevor Moore Memorial Final.
The National Championship race was decided by public draw and provided a superb start to the F2 action, with Aidan Grindy in 355 taking victory ahead of Chris Burgoyne and Aaron Vaight.

Nutts Corner Raceway – Season Opener
Sunday 1st March
The 2026 season roared into life at Nutts Corner Raceway on Sunday 1st March, with a packed programme of racing delivering plenty of action throughout the afternoon. The headline attraction of the meeting was the ever-popular Paddywhack event for the 1600cc and Unlimited Bangers, which produced the kind of full-contact entertainment the crowd had been waiting for over the winter break.
1600 Bangers – Paddywhack
A strong grid of 24 cars lined up for the 1600 Bangers Paddywhack feature race, guaranteeing action from the very start. The race lived up to expectations with plenty of crashing and heavy contact around the oval, including a spectacular rollover which added to the drama of the contest.
When the dust finally settled it was Alex Leonard who emerged victorious to take the Paddywhack win, ahead of Gregg Higgan in second and Josh Goligher in third place after surviving the bruising encounter.
The action continued later in the programme with the 1600 Banger heats, where Lucas Goligher claimed victory in Heat 1, while Ben McKenna took the honours in Heat 2.
Local driver William Donnell was named Entertainer of the Day after putting on a show for the crowd with his action-packed driving throughout the event.
