My books are about motor sport in Northern Ireland in the first half of the 20th century.

It was a time of enormous wealth , especially around Belfast, and the emergence of the motor car as both a means of transport and for use in competition, for example reliability trials, hill climbs and road races.

In 1922 Northern Ireland became the only part of the United Kingdom where roads could be closed for motorsport. In 1925 the Ulster Automobile Club was formed to promote motorsport.

My books focus on events not previously published and include the Edwardian Cultra Hill Climbs, sand racing at Magilligan Strand and the road races at Donaghadee and Bangor.

The second edition of the Ulster TT badges will be available in May 2025 and I am currently working on a new book on Craigantlet Hill climb 1925 to 1947.
