After a short break, the Parts for Cars Irish Rallycross Championship bursts back into life on July 20th & 21st at Mondello Park. Following its massive success last year the IRX will once again team up with Drift Games for their Retromania Festival.

To keep with the Retro theme set out by Drift Games the IRX are delighted to announce that there will be a demo Retro Rallycross category for the event. This free entry section of the event will give an opportunity for all the Retro Rallycross machines that have not seen the track in many years to come out of hibernation.

The schedule will be jam-packed of action as all the Rallycross classes and the best drifters in Ireland take to the track over the two days. On Saturday the Rallycross heats will take place leaving time on Sunday to hold the finals and also the reruns of the finals from the opening round that was postponed due to snow.

This means that spectators are in for a real treat of non-stop motorsport action! Apart from the on-track action, the Retromania festival has so much more to see, 80’s throwback party, retro gaming, 90’s tribute bands and loads of retro cars on display its a festival any petrolhead can enjoy!

After the opening round of the IRX championship was curtailed due to snow, standings are after round 2 in Tynagh and round 3 in Mondello Park. Noel Greene leads the way in his Mitsubishi Mirage but Derek Tohill is hot on his heels after he missed round 2, but won round 3. Full championship standings will be published in the coming weeks. Tommy Graham made a welcome return to the IRX at round 3 where he gave Tohill a good fight for the victory, we hope to see him back out for the Retromania event. There has also been a lot of interest in the event from competitors in the UK.
