Rallying - Back To Ireland!

The last part of my Geography project brings me back to Ireland. I am looking at Rallying in Ireland and also Mondello Park. Rallying is a form of racing that takes place on either public roads of private roads. Specially built road legal cars are raced. They race from point-to-point, each point is called a stage. Rallies can be won by pure speed throughout the stages or by completing it within a set time.

Rallies can take place on many different surface types, such as gravel, tarmac, snow and ice.

Modello park is an international motor sport venue in Caragh, Co.Kildare. it is Ireland's only  venue like this. It has hosted events like the Irish Championship Car, Kart and Motorcycle race and international GT and Rallycross events. It holds car and motor cycle track days, where any road legal vehicles can be driven.

Mondello Park is home to JapFest, Ireland's only Japanese car show, which takes place every September.

The park also has a small museum containing some cars from the past 30 years!

The park is situated on 110 acres , including a 3.5 kilometre race track, 24 race garages and 12 hospitality suites. A 3 kilometre extreme-off road race trail and a 5 acre off-road activity centre.
