Autocross Goes In Reverse

Pending safety plan approval the next autocross to take place on the 9th of September, will see a complete change in direction in regards to track layout. Connacht Motorclub are delighted to announce this new feature after feedback from club members looking for changes to the current track layout to give it something "New", the biggest and boldest of all been a change of direction. Its hoped that this will give a new challenge to the event and keep the competion strong between the regular visitors and also to attract new faces to the event (whom are always more than welcome to join us).
