Dunlop Motorsport Ireland Young Driver - August

Peter Dempsey, winner of the 2005 Dunlop Young Racing Driver of the Year Award, is once again in line to challenge for the title this year.



A hat trick of North American victories for the 22 year old Ashbourne driver, on three successive weekends, at Road America (Wisconsin), Trois Rivieres and Mosport (Canada) have shot him into contention for the Star Mazda Championship.



Peter, who is supported by Quayside.ie, Andersen Racing, LotusWorks and Allied Building Products, now leads the Mazda series following another win and a second place during September.



Peter is the fifth of six contenders to be short-listed for the Dunlop Young Racing Driver of the Year Award, which has a total prize fund of €50,000. This award is presented annually and is sponsored by Irish Dunlop Ltd. with additional support from the Irish Sports Council and Motorsport Ireland.
