Bumblebee 1000's Talladega Nights roadtrip raises €231,458 for Little Blue Heroes charity
BUMBLEBEE 1000 came, we saw, and we conquered, plus we raised €231,458 for the Little Blue Heroes charity. Our latest supercar roadtrip, Talladega Nights, took place over the weekend and this was our biggest event to date with over 100 vehicles taking part.

This Bugatti, worth over €5million, is a limited-edition variant of the Chiron that has an incredible top speed of 490.484kph. And taking part in the full roadtrip was a 950bhp LaFerrari, one of only 499 in the world, that's powered by a 6.3-litre V12 and uses F1-derived tech. It was a sight to behold to see this stunning red €3m hypercar cruising the streets of Ireland alongside other beautiful Ferraris like the SF90, the 296 GTB, the F8 and the 458.

I joined the action in a 727bhp M5 super saloon thanks to my friends at BMW Ireland and was dressed as the Irish Sun's tamed Motoring Editor The Ligg. But if I had a euro for every time someone commented, 'There's The Stig' as I drove by, I would have easily covered my fuel bill for the weekend.

Advertisement Part of our three-day road trip took us through the stunning scenery of the Ring of Kerry. The hills were literally alive with the sound of supercars, and to see and hear over 100 of them roar down through Moll's Gap in sunshine was breathtaking. And I'm sure the thousands who turned out to see their favourite cars were blown away with the sheer amount of rare machines like the limited edition Lamborghini Aventador SVJ 63. It's so rare there are only 63 of them made, and the amazing silver model on the trip was also right-hand drive — only a handful of them are in existence.

Advertisement While on Saturday at the Lewis Road Car Park in Killarney, the whole town turned out to see us arrive and join in the party atmosphere. But we saved the best to last as on Sunday when we pulled into the Portlaoise Plaza it was packed with spectators who got to see the finest collection of supercars ever in Ireland at one time.

Brad Pitt's F1 movie is formulaic. But after all, this is Formula 1
Watching Brad Pitt's new racing movie, F1 The Movie, I am a bit like a Labrador at the beach. Because as I try to follow the racing rules, overdone plot beats and famous faces, I am generally confused, have no idea what anyone is doing, am more than a little annoyed by the music and will probably squeeze in a few opportune moments to nap. But on the whole, I'm still excited to be here. Despite the many, many bumps on the road, F1 still manages to roll us across the finish line — something a bit easier perhaps for a genre whose only demand is showing things go really fast. Following itinerant, woebegone Formula 1 racing alum Sonny Hayes (Pitt), the film hits all the requirements of the genre. Hayes is a down-on-his-luck, grizzled vet with a chip on his shoulder, and when we meet him, he's skipping around the world's racing circuits as a gun-for-hire. Anyone looking for a devil-may-care driver to push them over the edge is enough to get him. What if they can't pay much? Doesn't matter. Money, Hayes assures us, isn't the point. So what is the point? That's a fuzzy proposition — one that only gets fuzzier as his old racing buddy Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) tracks him down at one of the rathole dive bars he frequents these days. Cervantes is wearing a Gucci suit, but the flash is for show — despite ruling the roost as the owner of the APX F1 racing team, he's currently $350 million in the hole. WATCH | F1 The Movie trailer: It gets worse. Cervantes's lead driver has hit the road, his other driver is the renegade rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), and if his pathetic team doesn't manage to win at least one of the nine races left in the season, the board can force Cervantes to sell. This makes Hayes his best bet; or, his best bet after nine earlier options turned him down. In Hayes's favour is his erstwhile superstar status. That is, before a spectacular crash broke a couple of vertebrae and forced him into the relatively slower lanes of NASCAR and off-road racing. At the same time, Hayes's clinically cavalier attitude at least gives Cervantes a shot. But this entails Hayes and Pearce getting over their egos to help one another, instead of turning their souped-up testosterone-mobiles into 300 km/h metaphors for unmanaged inadequacy complexes and chronic intimacy intolerance. So in essence, Ford v. Ferrari. Or Rush. Or, perhaps most similarly, Talladega Nights. Or really, any racing movie ever made. The films are never about racing per se, but about the romantic ideals of self-destructive masculine pride and will-they-or-won't-they competitive camaraderie. This time, the through-line is something closer to Call Me By Your Name: a mentorship-slash-rivalry between Hayes and Pearce that — for the most part — gives the otherwise formulaic plot some momentum. Which, to be fair, is the least interesting form of momentum on offer when judging a movie promising so much exhilarating action it advertised through a haptic trailer. This is an Imax feature using characters as an excuse for racing, and it shows — primarily, for how much those racing scenes pop. With cameras mounted on the hoods, dashes, rooftops and bumpers of the most popular motorsport in the world, F1 performs best as all good racing movies do: when all the annoying storylines have been dealt with so we can get back to the track, the whole reason we and our dads bothered heading to the theatre. This is good given the fact that the canned, often clunky non-racing scenes alternately drag or work against the film's theme. For example, Hayes's constant flirting with team technical director Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon) might not flesh out either of the characters, but where would we be without a romantic subplot? The contrived one-liners don't evoke an Ocean's 11 old-school vibe so much as draw attention to how far from classic this film is. Maybe we can excuse Bardem for unironically uttering the line, "The board is up my ass." Or rejigging Talladega Nights' satirical quip "If you're not first, you're last" into the more self-serious "Sometimes when you lose, you win." And what about when McKenna cuttingly remarks, "They're saying Sonny Hayes isn't a has-been — he's a never-was"? Well, that one's a bit harder to forgive. For those without deep knowledge of Formula 1, what may be worse is the logic of the races themselves. Hayes's whole schtick is fudging the arcane rules of the sport to force an advantage — a sort of Moneyball rehash for Pitt, except with fewer whiteboards. For those of us lacking the experiential understanding of how, for example, damaged wings can lead to red flags, it may be a bit hard to keep track of the how or why of it all. If it weren't for the frequently yelled explanations from racing analysts describing just how Hayes has subverted the rules, it may be impossible to follow why he's so impressive at all. Or whether he's ingeniously winning or blatantly losing when he and his partner crash into a barrier. And another barrier. And lose. And lose again. And, infuriatingly, tease the audience with more failure to the point where you wonder whether these are the same guys tailgating you on duller stretches of Highway 1. Which, again, is less important than how fast the cars go. Complaining about the structure feels like a fool's errand — though it would be even more foolish not to mention how the ending seems to invalidate everything that came before. There's a bait-and-switch that takes Hayes's character arc and completely undoes it. The film uses a thousand symbols pointing out how the allure of racing glory has been destroying him, only to then twist them around to say he was always right to yearn for it. It is the screenwriting equivalent of Fast & Furious actors' contractual requirement that they don't lose fights, in order to ensure they continue looking heroic. It is the character-growth equivalent of having their cake and eating it, too, and then eating seven more. And then opening a bakery. It's a silly, counterproductive narrative failing. But really, who cares? We're here to see cars go fast. And when Pitt's behind the wheel, do they ever.

Couldn't Care Less About Cars? You're Still Going to Love the F1 Movie
Going into my screening of F1: The Movie, I did not know much about F1: The Sport. I recognized the name Lewis Hamilton, one of the producers of the film, because he was a co-chair of the Met Gala this year. Since I haven't binged Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix, my main point of reference was Sacha Baron Cohen doing an intentionally terrible French accent as a Formula One driver in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

GAA previews: Cork will have goal chances against Roscommon, it's a case of taking them
SATURDAY. All-Ireland SFC, Round 3. Group 2. Kerry v Meath, Glenisk O'Connor Park, 4.15pm (J. McQuillan, Cavan). Picking All-Stars today, Matthew Costello would be a leading contender in the forward sextet so his absence in Tullamore can't be understated. Kerry are vulnerable but if Costello isn't there then Meath's chances of a surprise diminish considerably. That's not to say they don't have danger men in the forward line or can't cause issues for Kerry in midfield. They look an altogether better group than the one that metaphorically bent the knee in front of Kerry in Navan last year. But only few teams outlast Kerry in a scorefest and Meath aren't close to being one of them at the moment. Verdict: Kerry. Roscommon v Cork, Laois Hire O'Moore Park, 4.15pm (M. McNally, Monaghan) Live GAA+. We'll get this out of the way from the get-go: Cork are going to have goal chances here. It's just their conversion rate has been abysmal and if that continues then they are facing their earliest exit in this championship format. Roscommon have a series of goal-getters but there is a worrying lack of cohesion in their ranks for some reason. In fairness, they saved their best until last in this stage last year but Cork are really beefed up around the middle and they should create the platform to create those counter opportunities. A nod for Cork if they can put them away but it's a big if. Verdict: Cork. Group 4. Dublin v Derry, Páirc Esler, 6.30pm (B. Cawley, Kildare) Live GAA+. The inclusion of Con O'Callaghan in the Dublin panel named late on Thursday night will have given many of their supporters a restful sleep. That's not to say the Dublin squad won't change and O'Callaghan has been withdrawn from crucial games before but the captain is crucial to Dublin in subduing a Derry side that despite their awful run of results have upped their performance levels greatly since their lengthy post-provincial break. The Newry venue should be heaving for this one and Dublin can summon another Salthill-like display to make the last 12. Verdict: Dublin. Galway v Armagh, Kingspan Breffni, 6.30pm (N. Mooney, Cavan) Live GAA+. Armagh have a luxury here but Kieran McGeeney won't like it one bit. He's like Ricky Bobby's father Reese in Talladega Nights who much prefers something to be wrong than right: 'I gotta say things are pretty much perfect right now. And it's makin' me kinda of itchy.' McGeeney has to appreciate the fine job he and Armagh have done to qualify first for the last-eight. Galway have to throw everything at them to survive and that could give them invaluable insight down the line. Of course, Armagh's fringe players have something to fight for but Galway's need is so great. Verdict: Galway. Tailteann Cup quarter-finals. Fermanagh v Sligo, Brewster Park, 5pm (L. Devenney, Mayo). Another chance for Fermanagh to show why Enniskillen is a tough place to go. Carlow undermined that widely-held belief last month but Fermanagh bounced back well with that win over Wexford in Croke Park. Sligo were finetuned by Carlow last weekend and might have the superior attacking flourishes to land a semi-final spot. Verdict: Sligo. Kildare v Offaly, Cedral St Conleth's Park, 6.30pm (T. Murphy, Galway). A large crowd is anticipated in Newbridge for the second part of this double-header where the home side will be fancied but they will appreciate Offaly can pack a punch and Mickey Harte will have them set up well. Averaging over 30 points a game in their group, if Kildare are to continue demonstrating they belong at a higher grade, they should be able to deliver a professional performance to advance. Verdict: Kildare. All-Ireland JFC quarter-final. New York v USGAA, Gaelic Park, New York 10pm Irish time (S. Hurson, Tyrone). Verdict: New York. All-Ireland SHC preliminary quarter-finals. Laois v Tipperary, Laois Hire O'Moore Park, 1.45pm (C. Mooney, Dublin) Live GAA+. With the greatest of respect to Laois and Kildare, it's difficult to give these games much positive coverage when the results are all but inevitable. Laois only want the season to end whereas Tipperary will want to mark their liberation from the Munster SHC with a smooth, injury-free afternoon in Portlaoise. Tipperary can't win by enough but winning is enough to set up a date with Galway. Verdict: Tipperary Kildare v Dublin, Cedral St Conleth's Park, 4pm (J. Owens, Wexford). Widely expected to be the closer of the two preliminary quarter-finals, the feelgood factor in Kildare and momentum generated from beating Laois should help them be competitive in the first half. Asking them to refocus for Dublin after the high of last Sunday is unfair and Dublin will look to pop their balloons early on. Kildare can hold their own for some of this but not enough to table a genuine challenge. Verdict: Dublin. Electric Ireland All-Ireland MHC semi-final. Kilkenny v Waterford, Chadwicks Wexford Park, 7.30pm (E. Furlong, Wexford) Live TG4. A throw-in time that does little for the promotion of the All-Ireland minor championship. Kilkenny were convincing Leinster champions but they should face a real examination from a Waterford side that are strong around the middle and came up just short in the Munster final against Cork. Verdict: Kilkenny. TG4 All-Ireland senior ladies football championship, Round 2. Group 1. Donegal v Galway, Naomh Padraig Leifear, Lifford, 2pm (B. Rice, Down). Donegal will want to give a good account of themselves at home but may have one eye on the Tipperary game knowing that winning that will get them into the knock-out stages. Galway are in fine fettle. Verdict: Galway. Group 2. Cork v Kerry, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 2.30pm (S. Curley, Galway) Live TG4. Kerry showed the mark of champions when the sides met in the Munster championship even if their recent win over Mayo was on the laborious side. Cork can make life difficult for patches but Kerry look certs to top the group. Verdict: Kerry. Group 3. Kildare v Meath, Hawkfield CoE, 12.45pm (S. Mulvihill, Kerry) Live TG4. Courtesy of the Armagh-Meath draw, Kildare know a win in either of their games will see them through but their form doesn't indicate that a surprise is on the cards. Meath to jump to the No1 spot for the time being. Verdict: Meath. Group 4. Dublin v Leitrim, Parnell Park, 2pm (G. Canny, Mayo). Not that it was humbling – Waterford's credentials have been there for everyone to see – but being held by The Déise serves as a reminder to Dublin that they are not going to have it all their own way. They can comfortably seal their passage to the quarter-finals here all the same. Verdict: Dublin. SUNDAY. All-Ireland SFC, Round 3. Group 1. Donegal v Mayo, King & Moffatt Dr Hyde Park, 4pm (P. Faloon, Down) Live RTÉ. The venue may have given Donegal a cause for siege mentality but there will be plenty of locals paying in to see a good contest and hoping Mayo might be sent packing from the competition. The two-week gap from beating Tyrone will be beneficial to Mayo when they have struggled badly to back up championship performances one weekend after the next. Donegal have shown that their underbelly isn't completely protected and despite being so well drilled they can be porous at the back. Mayo just don't seem to be the type of team that can have a real cut at exposing that. Show some dash and they have a chance but this game is more likely to follow a formulaic theme, which will suit Donegal. Verdict: Donegal. Tyrone v Cavan, Brewster Park, 4pm (P. Neilan, Roscommon). Among the victorious Tyrone support that left Ballybofey last month, there were those who felt the absence of Shaun Patton and Donegal's high wide count masked the significance of the win. Mayo shattered any grand designs Tyrone had about themselves and here they will have to be gritty and relentless to stop Cavan. It appears a couple of key Tyrone players are playing with injuries but there can be no mitigating factors when a quarter-final place is on the line. Verdict: Tyrone. Group 3. Louth v Clare, Laois Hire O'Moore Park, 2pm (B. Tiernan, Dublin). As discussions about the Munster SFC format being rejigged to take away Clare's semi-final seeding, it would be an opportune time to remind people in the province why they have been a fixture in the Sam Maguire Cup group stages these past three years. Louth have found it difficult to hit terra firma since the Leinster final heroics but this game, while not a failsafe, was probably always in the back of their minds. Win here and they would have a shot at a preliminary quarter-final. Clare will deliver a display far better than their last three outings but Louth should have a small cushion at the final whistle. Verdict: Louth. Monaghan v Down, Box-It Athletic Grounds, 2pm (D. Coldrick, Meath) Live RTÉ. A de factor preliminary quarter-final a week before the preliminary quarter-final where the winners in Armagh city will enjoy a two-week gap before their last eight assignment. Down need only a draw to top the group and in Pat Havern and Odhrán Murdock they have real ballers but Monaghan's list of match-winners is lengthier and they are playing some beautiful football. Verdict: Monaghan. Tailteann Cup quarter-finals. Wicklow v Westmeath, Echelon Park, 1.15pm (J. Molloy, Galway) Live GAA+. It mightn't match the buzz there was around Aughrim when Dublin visited in the Leinster championship but there should be a sense of occasion around this clash. Westmeath have had to qualify with an extra outing but should be too good for the hosts even if their captain Dean Healy is playing out of his skin. Verdict: Westmeath. Limerick v Wexford, TUS Gaelic Grounds, 3.45pm (B. Griffin, Kerry) Live GAA+. Limerick's revolution under Jimmy Lee has been a compelling story. There were some rough times at the outset of his management as he negotiated a braindrain but the fruits of his labours are being seen now. Wexford amassed five goals against Antrim last weekend but they will find their opponents here miserly. Limerick to back up their win over Westmeath with another fine victory. Verdict: Limerick. Electric Ireland All-Ireland MHC semi-final. Cork v Clare, FBD Semple Stadium, 1pm (C. Doyle, Tipperary) Live TG4. Seven points separated the sides in Tulla back in the middle of April but such are the vagaries at minor level that not much can be ruled out here. Yes, Cork are Munster champions and should seal an All-Ireland final date but Clare will want to set the tone early on as a means of creating doubt. They are on the back of two good wins too since Cork's provincial final but Cork were flawless in Munster and can carry on that form. Verdict: Cork.
