The team are hard at work already to ensure we have all angles covered for the race. with new connections on board and ongoing support from our fantastic team, this year promises to be a complete success.
live streaming will be available again this year so if you want to see what's going on at the loft you will have the chance to see the action as it happens right here on this homepage. the live stream also has a chat feature so you can get involved with the banter and chat at the race office as the action happens.
We always encourage and welcome race entry owners to the loft on race days but understand that its not always possible so the live stream is very useful for those who cant make the races.

A few Words from 2011 North Coast Classic Winners,
We at Alpine Lofts would like to thank Sean Diamond and his crew of the North Coast Classic,
for all their hard work during the 2011 season, culminating in a great final race for us from Rosscarbery, Cork, 265 Miles.
We were paid our winnings of £ 12,000 plus our Pools of £ 1190.00 on the evening of the race, just four hours after the birds arrival from Cork,
at the after race function held in the Lodge Hotel, Coleraine, continuing on from their usual practice of paying out pools & prize money within a week,
after each and every Hot - Spot race.
As a syndicate that competes in many One Loft Races each year, we can only compliment Sean and his team on the running of the North Coast Classic.
Yours in Sport,
Francis, Marguerite, Francis Jr, & Andrea Corcoran.
