Hi MiniClub members,
My name is Jonathan and I'm here representing the Irish Festival of Speed.
I spoke to Owen and he gave me the go ahead to register and post here in the forum.
The Irish Festival of Speed, for those not already aware, is a new Irish festival which celebrates the engine in its many forms. The festival will be held on the grounds of Adare Manor on July 31st and there will be a mix of vintage, racing, modern, exotic cars, bikes and even planes and helicopters. A 1.5km asphalt track will host the Sprint Races where drivers will compete for the Dunraven Arms Cup and there will be a Concourse d'Elegance competition to try and find the car of the show!
If any Mini/MINI owners feel that their car is of a high standard and would like to display it as a static display, or indeed enter into the Sprint race (racing licence and cert required), please follow this link http://www.irishfestivalofspeed.com/entries/ and download the Expression of Interest form.
As an aside to this, the Irish Festival of Speed has decided to create reserved parking areas for Car Clubs that attend as a group. So far the Alfa Owners Club, BMW-Driver.net and Morgan Owners Club have taken avail of this. The way we are working this is that a Club rep gathers the details of interested members and then forwards the relevant information to us so we can set aside enough space for the club members on the day.
PLEASE LET GER OR FERGAL KNOW IF YOU WILL ATTEND AS SPACES ARE LIMITED
Here is our introductory video to give you a small taste of what to expect
