Paddy Hopkirk

Paddy Hopkirk is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps that is where a racing driver first entered the world, maybe in a ordinary house on an ordinary street. Imagine a baby arriving in Belfast in 1933, later becoming known for speed and endurance on racing circuits. Perhaps the place itself does not need to be grand; it is the starting point for a life that moved quickly elsewhere.
