Corcoran ponders top award process

Changes to the selection process for next season’s Billy Coleman award are unlikely — even though it is always under review.

Last week’s announcement of the three candidates to vie for this year’s award of €50,000 provoked a wave of criticism on the social media; the process, rather than the selection proving the catalyst for the outburst.

“I have seen some unfortunate comments that were posted,” said Joe Corcoran, the president of Motorsport Ireland.
