Phoenix Park
I've heard that this year's Phoenix Park races have had to be cancelled for a lack of finance
 Hope it's not the final nail, as the press release suggests...

There's rumour they will hold a sprint/hillclimb style event this year if they can get enough of a backing. Announcements of the park being cancelled usually appear around this time to encourage potential sponsors to raise the money to save this historic event.
It's just unfortunate that circuit racing in Ireland has to play second fiddle to rallying when it comes to government/regulatory body funding. I'm sure that if the Park was actually a rally stage and could be used to further the attempts to gain a WRC round then money would suddenly appear from many sources. |

Any more news on this? I was hoping to go and have a gander, but don't really want to get all the transport and accommodation sorted for no racing!

Last update was that they were going ahead with the sprint. Best suggestion is to contact Motorsport Ireland - info@motorsportireland.com
Sorry I can't be more help, but that's all the info we've been given. Since I'm planning to be doing Karts at Mondello in any case, I've not been following it that closely! |
