| Lorcan returns to racing this year after a
9 year break. The ultra-fit eircom computer cabling technician
started racing in 1981, and in 1983 he won the class titles
in the Dunlop Sexton Trophy, the Northern Ireland Touring
Car Championship and the Dealer Opel Cup – enough
to put him 4th in the Irish Racing Drivers’ Association.
Having finished 2nd in three championships in 1984, Lorcan
stopped racing in 1985, married Grainne the following year
and returned to racing in the 1987 FF2000 Championship.
He competed in rallycross in 1988 and ’89, and in
1990 he raced karts. Work in London prevented him racing
in 1991 and ’92, and after three more years of karting
Lorcan stopped racing altogether in 1995. In preparation
for his return, Lorcan – who is renowned for his determination
as well as race craft - has been training for two years,
lost a stone in weight and is virtually tee-total. |
