About Racing

MEC run one Circuit Motor Racing event each year, which can vary from a smaller scale Clubman event to a full International event. The club runs one event each year under its own name, and club personnel assist at several other events during the racing season. These events are normally run in Mondello Park with the Club providing the key organisational personnel, in conjunction with Mondello Park management and staff.
Typically, there is a wide choice of different Racing Championship Classes which varies from one event to the next:

“Single Seaters” – Formula Libre, Formula Ford 1600, Formula Vee and Formula Sheane.

“Saloon” – Irish Touring Cars, Seat Cupra’s, ASK Supercars, Fiesta and Fiesta STs.

“Sportscars” – Ginetta Junior, “Irish Sports Cars” (Strykers) and Global Lights. There are also classes for Vintage, Historics and Future Classics.

The minimum age limit for Circuit Racing is 16 years, with the exception of the Ginettas which can be raced by 14 year olds. A medical certificate is required and this is part of the licence application process.

Licence application forms and online applications are available on the Motorsport Ireland Website
