Shocking footage has emerged of a sulky race early on Wednesday morning on the N22 Cork to Killarney Road in which carriages raced each other at 50-kilometre speeds through traffic and onto the hard shoulder.

The drivers were followed by at least two vehicles also occupying the hard shoulder at periods during the race.
