The Coppa d Europa started this year in Enschede (NL), and led through the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany again to Dresden. After last year's top 20 finish, Paddy was highly motivated.
Team Paddy Murphy went to the AvD-Histo Tour to have fun on four race circuits and returned with four trophies on top of that! Paddy drove on the Nürburgring Grand Prix race track, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Circuit Zolder and the legendary Nordschleife track.
Team Paddy Murphy achieved the best Coppa result up to now by finishing in 17th place out of 43 classified participants. The Coppa d'Europa 2022 started in Vlodrop and led through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the Czech Republic to Linz in Austria. As usual, it was three days of madness and it was great fun. After an incredibly good day 1, Paddy slightly lost ground and ended up in 17th place. The first 16 received a trophy. Well, Paddy will be back on the attack next year!
Paddy decided to follow in the footsteps of the filmmakers of Top Gear and The Grand Tour. He dreamed of different perspectives, rapid changes from outside to inside views and dramatic car and camera chases. Paddy had a drone at his disposal and thought to himself, how hard can it be? The footsteps proved quite big. For now.
The thing about Irish roads is that you'll never know what comes next after a hill or a bend. Just close your eyes, come and rely on the luck o' the Irish.Paddy Murphy, 2012
