Racing car novice’s career to take off

A COUNTY Cork 10-year-old has marked himself out as a motor racing star of the future.

Young Darragh O’Shea reached speeds over 100km/h to take the chequered flag and become one of the youngest winners ever in the junior category (10-16 years) at Waterford Raceway in Dungarvan.

Remarkably, it was only his third race in a car lent to him by car dealer John Shanahan from Killavullen.
