Schumacher car the highlight of racing centenary

CELEBRATING a centenary of motorsport, Motorsport Ireland which is promoting the Swiftpost-sponsored Phoenix Park Motor Races (August 16 and 17) is confident the event will attract the huge crowds of former years.

One of the highlights will be the appearance of Michael Schumacher’s Formula 1 car that will be driven around the circuit by Irish racing driver, Michael Cullen.

From a competitive perspective, there is a 28-race programme organised by the Irish Motor Racing Club and the Leinster Motor Club. All the current classes in Irish motor racing will be catered for along with historic races.
