Mondello Park will open its gates to the public free of charge this weekend for two days of Car Racing in aid of Laura Lynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice.

The event will also include Cycle Racing, a Fun Run, Family entertainment and a Barbecue and Auction on Saturday evening.

The County Kildare Motor Club will run the event, which will feature a full day of Championship Racing on Saturday with more Championship Races and some fun non-championship events on Sunday. Spectators will be able to watch the Irish Touring Cars, BOSS Ireland, Fiestas, Formula Vee, Historic Cars, Sports Cars and Junior Racers in action over the two days and all without any admission charge.

The event will include some novel features with Saturday seeing a full programme of Cycle Racing on the International Loop running alongside the Car Races. A 5K Fun Run, which is open to all, will take place on Sunday at lunch-time with all of the proceeds from the entry fees going to Laura Lynn. For families looking to keep their children amused there will be face painting and bouncy castles on site both days.

Representatives of Laura Lynn will be present on Saturday and Sunday to accept donations and the charity will also benefit from the social part of the event on Saturday night, which will consist of a Barbecue, Live Music and an Auction in the Mondello Park Bar. Anyone wishing to donate to the Auction should contact Mondello Park.

Mondello.TV will broadcast from the circuit on Saturday with a full day of racing being shown. Details of how to donate to Laura Lynn will be included in the broadcast for anyone who cant make the event.
