Phoenix Park Motor Races 2008
Hi, the event's website is currently being updated, and I'm making my holidays plans and thougt about taking part. So I have few questions, which maybe any of you could answer - I would like to rent some car and don't know, what kind would be good - surely Uno, but what else - Punto, Abarth, Caterham, Formula Vee, maybe Mondeo-looking cars? Could you advice me, who schould I contact? Next question - what fireproof clothes are obligatory in Ireland, could it be 86 homologated underwear and overalls and 2000 helmet? And is international licence accepted (I'm Polish)? I will be happy to know all your ideas and sugestions

Don't get too excited as I don't think there are any Phoenix Park Motor Races in 2008

Sorry to disappoint you THIM, but this year's Phoenix Park races have been cancelled due to a lack of funding. There are some rumours about its future (such as running it bi-annually and charging admission) but as far as I know nothing has been confirmed yet.

That's bad news, is it sure? I thought, that it's Ireland's biggest racing event...

I read yesterday that there are plans to resurface the main road of the park.Great! I thought....but..the plans include a permanent roundabout at mountjoy cross! Is this the final nail in the coffin?

I was told two weeks ago the roundabout is to be positioned to allow for racing
