A quick break in the sun
Ride with loads of space to explore your potential
Irish motorcycle track day company, Motocraft, have been around since 2018. During this time Irish track enthusiasts have enjoyed riding a feast of iconic circuits. These include Portimão, Mugello, Aragon, Navarra, Catalunya and Andalucía to name but a few. While the calendar is still being put together for the coming 2025 season, the team have confirmed their first three day event this coming April.
So just as winter ‘25 will be coming to a close, and we’re about to forget how to operate a sequential gearbox, along comes the most benevolent of motorcycle deities in the form of the young and rather wonderful Mr Paul Creevey. Paul is the chief steward at Motocraft. His team specialises in running track events in sunnier places than here including Spain and Portugal.
Leaning it in....
This coming April 2025 Motocraft are hosting a trip to Portimāo. I had to stop typing there for a moment while I suppressed a little giggle of excitement at the very thought of it! The track at Portimao is nothing short of amazing. This will be the outfits third time to visit the circuit. There are no fewer than 15 corners of undulating motorcycling heaven. Every lap lends itself to something new to learn especially the very last corner. It’s downhill and so, so long, there are a choice of lines through it.
Even standing in pit-lane watching another group brings an explosion of audible sublimeness as the natural amphitheatre that the circuit sits in echoes the exhaust notes and enhances the pitch.
Over the top!
Motocraft have made this circuit, and so many more, easily accessible from Ireland. The event price includes your motorcycle transport to and from Ireland to the circuit, three days on track, four nights hotel accommodation and all the services you may need are available at the circuit if required.
Point your browser at www.motocraft.ie/events for more information and end the winter with three days riding on track! But be quick, Motocraft are all about keeping the numbers small and once this is booked out, it’s booked out. See you there!
