Time for something a bit different! We’re always looking for ways we can diversify improve on what we do here at Trackdays.ie and with that in mind the next even we’re running isn’t a trackday at all but a Dyno Day which will take place at STONE Motorsport on Saturday June 24th. What is a dyno

That Clio…
You couldn’t help but have noticed Philip Gilmartin’s Martini liveried Clio at our last trackday at Mondello Park, it’s striking to say the least and that colour scheme really just makes an already racy looking car even more purposeful.

The McBennett Motorsport Supercharged K20 Elise
The McBennett Motorsport Supercharged K20 Elise If you’re at a track day with Pat Mcbennetts bright yellow 1997 Lotus Elise, it’s likely to be the fastest thing there that day, and that goes for virtually any day.

Basic Track Car Modifications

Track Day Noise Limits & Noise Testing
As with pretty much all Motorsport events, track days in Ireland have to conform to a pre-defined noise limit. The reason for this is to reduce environmental impact and to help keep Motorsport running. Local Authorities actually have the power to suppress any noise source deemed to be causing a nuisance – in other words, they

Track days are unique in that they have their own set of rules and regulations, which are completely different from any other form of Motorsport or on-track activity, so we thought we’d write a quick post about track day etiquette and in-particular the rules around overtaking. A track day is a bit of a balancing act,
