Double-digit growth in new karting cegories

The Tillotson T4 Series will be showcased at the Motorsport Ireland National Karting Championships in Whiteriver Karting Complex in Louth on Sunday. The concept behind the category is to offer affordable competitive kart racing to motorsport enthusiasts from 15 years of age and upwards.

In the past decade karting was one of the “best-kept secrets” in Irish motorsport and that description led to a study of the sport and how it could be repopulated. Although there is still work to be done in terms of publicity, entries have shot up from 50 last year to over 100.
