Irish Grand Prix
Hi,
For the duration of the 1929 and 1930's Grand Prix the Phoenix Monument which stands in the middle of a roundabout outside the American Ambassodors residence , was removed and rebuilt after the races were finished. The races which are held annually in the park at the present use only a portion of the old track and vere off into a triangular course before the monument . As can be seen from the attached a substantial piece of stone was required to be removed and rebuilt. The trophy for the GPs were in fact a silver replica of the monument itself.
