Nvidia's Robinson crowned Irish Prince Champion.

Team Nvidia rider Paul Robinson became retained his Irish title this weekend at at the fianl round of the Irish championship at Bishops Court, Ireland.

The last round of the series saw the title go down to the wire between Paul and Tim Stott, Davy Lemon who had a terrible start to the season has been a major player in the last few races of the Championship pushing Paul all the way and forcing himself into third overall in the Championship.

Young Tim has done a great job in the championship capitalising on the rounds that Paul missed while riding in the British 125 championship.

This piled on the pressure forcing Paul into the situation of having to take race wins to keep him in the 'Title fight'. He did this by scoring nine victories in all.

Going into the last two races at Bishops Court Paul had a 13 point lead, so he had to look for at least one win and a podium to secure the title.

The first race saw Davy and Paul get clean starts to head the field - they both ran at a frantic pace to leave the field in their wake - swapping places every lap until three laps to go when Paul made the break to take the chequered flag.

In the second race Paul again made a good start only to have all his hard work side lined when the race was stopped for an accident on the very first lap.

The riders were held for a great deal of time without tyre warmers before being let back onto the grid for a warm up lap.

"At the start of the second race I was not comfortable with the temperature and grip of my tyres so I decided to settle in and watch the others progress," said Paul. "As I started to get a good feeling from the tyres I was able to get my head down, I wanted to win the last race as winning both on the day gave me the extra title 'Prince of Bishops Court' passing Davy with four laps to go I just kept my head down and headed for the flag."

"Paul has done a great job for Team Nvidea this season, stepping in to replace Kenny (Tibble) after four rounds of the British Championship was no easy task as the Team was set up to win titles, so it must have been a little daunting for him. The race Win in front of the TV at Knockhill was the highlight of the British Championships for us, but the Irish Championship is very important to Paul and all his sponsors Family and Friends as well as Team Nvidia. The unplanned exposure with both TV and news papers Paul has attracted to the 'NVIDIA' brand and those of all our other Team Nvidia partners is invaluable," commented Business Director Tony Robinson.

This was the last race of the 2004 season for Team Nvidia, who now look forward to a possible move up to British Superbikes next year.

As a result of this all their 125 equipment is for sale, and anyone interested in this should contact Brent Gladwin by email at brent@grmotosport.co.uk, or go to the Team Nvidia website at www.teamnvidia.com.
