Sandor mentioned, that he plans to compete on two IRRC races at the end of summer. In Hungary, mostly the British and Irish races are known, plus the Macau GP. Only a few know, that there is a „continental” road race series. This is the International Road Racing Championship, the IRRC.

IRRC is a German-Dutch organized road race series of five races:

- Hengelo Gld (Netherlands)
- Oostende (Belgium)
- Chimay (Belgium)
- Terlicko (Czech Republic)
- Frohburg (Germany)

The first race at Hengelo was held last weekend. Mostly German and Benelux racers compete, but Sandor's good friend, Paul Shoesmith is a regular participant of the series. Last year champion, Branko Srdanov from the Netherlands also races at the ICE Valley BMW team.
All races are very popular, and also good-ranked.

Terlicko:

Terlicko race is held near the Czech-Polish border, on a six-kilometre long circuit. Here are many spectators, here competes the Czech Road Race Championship field, as well.

Here is a Czech-language footage about the last year Terlicko race:

And here you can watch an onboard footage from a race (on the footage, the race starts at 03:54)

Frohburg:

This race is held at the famous Frohburg triangle in Germany, which is a 4,75 km long circuit. It is more than 50 years old. At this festival, there are plenty oldtimer cars, and sidecar motorcylces, as well. Here are shows, concerts, to attract viewers. Alongside the track, there are only a few trees and pylons, so we can call this as one of the most safe road race.

Here you can see some onboard laps, sitting on Udo Reichmann’s BMW.
