The first live web streaming ever of a National Hot Rod Event was a tremendous success with 4,700 hits during transmission, 1,881 unique viewers and up to 480 connects watching it at any one time. This response to getting the cameras in was beyond the expectations of everyone involved and both the track promoters and the production team from Ustream were delighted with the result.
But it wasn’t just the organisers who were happy with it being watchable throughout the world, here are some messages from the web -
“I am currently watching the live feed from Tipp and I’ve got to say it’s fantastic as far as not being there goes, well done Tipp’s promotors very impressed, thank you!” Tracy
Enjoyed myself the whole 5 hours I watch it. Been in Ireland (Rosegreen) many times I felt at home. It was like a dream. Thank you for the great entertainment to all Irish people that were involved to the live streaming. You all done a super job in the cold!!! Keep on running!! Timm (Germany)
“LIVE online coverage from Tipp, I’ve seen the future!” Garry
Matt Simpson clinched the National Hot Rod European crown after a long, hard fought race that was not without controversy, he was declared the winner after some discussion as to whether the penalty awarded to local driver Dave Casey should stand.

Yes it’s fast approaching that time of year again with just a couple of weeks to go to the European Championship here at Rosegreen. An all action night has been laid on with the final races taking place under the floodlights.
New for this year will be a big screen with lap times being displayed the moment they are recorded presenting spectators with a real time picture of the race’s progress and the drivers performance. As we know Hot Rod events are fast and furious with no quarter expected or given and with the timing on the board every second of every race is up for scrutiny, they’ll be no pit lane bluster now, we’ll all be in the know!
They’ll be the top drivers from the north and across the water trying their luck against our champions, we wish them well but doubtless it will be the local lads who’ll be be showing them how it’s done so come along and give them the support they deserve. Entry list to be published here on the official site soon.
Lightening rods will also be racing on the night of the European Championship. Gates open at 12 noon.
Just a reminder that racing will start at 6pm on the 22nd to allow drivers to practice under floodlights for the following weekend. All classes will be racing including a Ladies special, details to follow. Practice starts at 5pm, racing at 6.
