ITCC has its first ever double header and the Ginetta Junior Ireland series has its inaugural race.
Ginetta Junior Ireland supported by Michelin is a new championship which will see fourteen to seventeen year olds competing in Irish circuit racing for the first time. This weekends championship opener is sponsored by 'The Grid' and will see ten cars compete over two races. Many of the drivers have graduated from the Jondol Junior Rallycross championship which previously was the only racing opportunity for these youngsters. The championship is a proven winner having run in the UK for a number of years and now looks likely to be extremely successful in Ireland too.
Of the remaining classes, Formula Vee and Global Lights will both race twice while the Historics and Formula Libre will have a single race each. The two Formula Vee encounters will be a qualifying race and a final, making up a single championship round while the Global Lights sportscars will have a pair of points scoring races. The Historics will also count their single race towards their championship points while the Libre event will be non-championship.
Sunday's event gets under way with the first race for Global lights race at 11:40 followed by the Vee qualifier and the first races for the ITCC and Ginetta Juniors. The remaining six races will take place from 14:15 after a lunch break.
