MONDELLO PARK LAP RECORD

Resurfacing of a large portion of the Mondello Park National circuit is part of a number of upgrades at the Irish venue for 2022. The increased grip meant that lap records would be under threat and, with conditions cold but clear, the timekeepers were kept busy last weekend. Notably, Cian Carey’s Dallara F317 (below) took the outright record, eclipsing Nigel Greensall’s mark of 50.220s, set back in 1997 in a Formula 1 Tyrrell. Carey left the mark at 49.275s, but opined that a 48s lap might have been possible in better conditions.
