About This Event
The last two rounds of the Irish Rallycross Championship season share the weekend with the British Rallycross Championship at Mondello Park, a circuit the FIA describes as widely regarded as Europe's fastest for rallycross. Cars race door to door over tarmac and loose surface on an anti-clockwise layout built for side by side racing.
1What to Expect
Rounds 7 and 8 are the last two rounds of the IRX season, which runs eight rounds over four weekends, all at Mondello Park.
The IRX calendar lists a round of the British Rallycross Championship on the same weekend. The British classes coming over are not announced yet.
Classes include Supercars and Modified. Each class runs a set of heats, and the fastest drivers go through to the finals on the day.
The layout runs anti-clockwise: a 15 m wide tarmac run from the start to Campion corner, a four wheel drive drift into the stadium section at Turn 2, the first loose section after Turns 3 and 4, and a joker lap that exits at Turn 5.
2Best Way to Experience It
- Round 7 and Round 8 run across Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 May, and adult tickets are sold per day, so the choice is one day or both.
- Mondello Park opens the paddock gates to all visitors at set times during events, so the cars and teams can be seen up close between heats.
