I called into the Royal North Of Ireland Yacht club this morning to drop in a complimentary copy of "Cultra- Motoring with panache " for their archives. The clubhouse still looks very much like it does in the photographs in my book - right down to the sundial at the front. The other two photos show the view from the start line today - looking out over Belfast Lough and up the hill to the first corner.
Interested in learning more about motorsport in Northern Ireland?
