I'd be keen to head down. Might go for the full day though. We did it at the start of the year (international circuit) and had a great day.

More technical than Kirky but suited my 205 really well.

Tempted by this, never been to Mondello and always wanted to try it. Will let you know

 

[Mont]

I just signed up for the full day.

Will be a new one for me as only been a passenger at Mondello for an autosolo about 10yrs ago.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Cooper]

Great circuit - looking forward to it!

Are yous driving down or trailer job? Always wanted to do Mondello! If I can get the Clio ready I could be tempted. Or maybe risk the 911 and hope it doesn’t blow up.

I’ll be driving too. Will be a Challenge to fit a full set of wheels, jack, Jerry cans and tools in a starlet

 

[swervygerdy]

Van and trailer. I'll have a trolley jack and most basic tools of yous need anything.

 

[pablo]

200L of super would be the job lol, anyone know if you can get it down there?

 

[thornracing]

I’m in the process of getting my Clio 197 up to scratch, would love to hit this. Never done a track day in my life. Would I need some experience to attend this?

I think these are well run days for novices so would be fine- however Trackskills at Kirkistown might be a better first step for something a bit closer.

 

[swervygerdy]

hey Eamo, long time no see buddy...

The last time I was there they let the novices/ first timers out on their own for the first session in the morning. you can opt to put a yellow 'X' on the rear window to let people know your a newbie.

I say get it booked. You'll really enjoy it. I'll have the van and tools if you need anything during the day.

my uncle has a 197 too, he really enjoyed his first track day last month....

You’ll be fine, just drive within your limits, especially If there’s someone behind putting you under pressure just stick your indicator on and let them pass etc.
Once you get out and do a lap or 2 you’ll never look back!

Trackskills on 13th might be a better primer. Suck to drive all the way to Dublin and find your brakes aren’t up to it or something.

Hi Gerdy, I hope your keeping well mate. That’d be great knowing at least one other person lol. Did your uncle drive to it then track and drive home? I’m tempted with this one. Might be better somewhere closer for the first time though.
Cheers bud

Trackdays.ie used to be by far the best track days down there. They stopped though, good to see they're going again

Fantastic track, the full international circuit is pretty much made for a Lotus.

You'll have a great time!

It's a long drive for half a day but it's open pit lane so just stay out and make the most of it

200L of super would be the job lol, anyone know if you can get it down there?

There's a petrol station just up the road from the track, just before if you arrive from the Dublin/M7 direction. There's a Spar deli there as well for lunch, etc.

There is nothing else nearby.

Don't remember if they do Super. Don't think they have any super at all across the border, do they?

Edit: Nope, just diesel and unleaded in Carragh.
