Motor Racing returns to Bishopscourt Racing Circuit

Posted: Thursday 12th January 

After a gap of 44 years since the sound of cars racing at the Bishopscourt Racing Circuit, I am delighted to announce that the Management of Bishopscourt Racing circuit have agreed in principal with the MSA (the governing body of Motor Racing) and the Association of Northern Ireland Car clubs for the return of Car racing to Bishopscourt.

The race meeting is scheduled to take place on Saturday and Sunday May 12/13, 2012. The race meeting will feature all the main classes currently racing in Ireland and will be promoted by Leinster Motor Club, who incidentally organised the last car racing event held at the track in 1968. In 1992 the circuit was bought and made into a permanent motorsports Facility and in 2001 the present owner took over the site and made massive improvements to the layout and safety of the Circuit. In 2011 the complete resurfacing of the track was finished, giving 3 alternative layouts ranging from 1.5 miles to 2.1miles per lap. The race meeting in May will be on the National track measuring 1.85miles.

Further information will be available in the near future on the following web sites. 

www.leinstermotorclub.ie and www.bishopscourt.org
