Now set to embark on his fourth year of racing, Flock and Westbourne Motorsport will once again look to make their mark, albeit this time overseas and against some of Europe’s very best
Westbourne Motorsport will embark on an exciting new challenge in 2025 with confirmation that they will enter the Renault Clio Cup Series with exciting young talent Daire Flock.

James Colburn, Westbourne Motorsport Team Principal: “This announcement is both hugely exciting and significant for the team. Expanding into Europe is something that we’ve had our eyes on for some time however there was never really the right opportunity - until now.
“Last year we were one of the first teams to sign up to the new Clio Cup GB series and we came oh-so close to winning the title with Daire. While we could have stayed for a second season, the natural choice in Daire’s progression was to make the switch to the European stage.
“Daire has been a part of the Westbourne team since he commenced racing and we are extremely proud of what he has achieved in such a short space of time. He’s going to be racing at all new tracks to him and us but I’ve no doubt we’ll be in the mix.
"We are already looking at an extensive testing program to give Daire and the team to best opportunity to become acquainted with the circuits at the opening rounds so we are on the front foot.”
