The second ever season of the Bump and Jump Revival Cup has ended a few days ago. It featured many changes – Tiger Express Events took over the organisation after iCON Racing’s collapse, and a 2 divisions system. If Renesis dominated the first season with Joachim Souaï and Damien Jourdainne, the second season would be overpowered by the Irish Foireann Na hÉireann team (litterally Team Ireland in Gaelic) composed of Ministery of Speed’s manager Andy O’Brien and Niall Murray, the brother of the real life Seat Eurocup driver, Eoin. Both drivers took 1st and 2nd in both divisions.
Foireann Na hÉireann left no chance to their rivals: with 14 victories out of 18 races in Division A and 11 victories out of 18 in Division B. Both drivers were supposed for both titles in the last round, but Niall Murray couldn’t attend it, and therefore Andy O’Brien was crowned champion of Division A and B. Niall kept his 2nd place in both divisions in the end nevertheless.
In fact, the podium was almost exactly the same in both divisions, as Tiger Express’ manager Yann Laprevotte would take 3rd in Division B, but would get beaten by his teammate Lims Chebbi in Division A by only one point. The latter has proven once again his consistance, with 12 podiums in 18 races(including 10 3rd places).
Tiger Express got 2nd in both divisions in the teams’ championship,in front of Üllar Mikk’s Race Sim Radicals in Division A, while in Division B they would get in front of 1-Click-LFS. Luke Marchant and Chris Palmer, its two drivers, impressed a lot with their enthousiasm, and managed to pull decent performances despite their small experience with Bump and Jump.
“It was a mistake to introduce a second division” said Tiger Express Events‘ manager Yann Laprevotte. “We can see in the end that the ballast given to experienced drivers in Division B had very little effect on the results, while the point of Division B was to see new people getting on top. We’ve seen good and bad stuff during this season, but in the end we proved that it is still possible to have fun on Autocross layouts in good conditions if the drivers have a friendly and courteous attitude, like we had at PitOfDespair. I hope we will have this attitude for the whole third season, which should come in Autumn 2010.”
