Eoin & Declan have been busy and have come up with trumps with 22 challenging tests incorporating all types of terrain. The majority are on the loose with the odd concrete and field test thrown in for good measure......
Entries are now filling up so please let Eoin @ eoinlongworth@eircom.net know if you plan on joining in on the fun.

Drivers Briefing 9:45am
First Test starts 10:00am

Passengers / Navigators
All passengers & navigators must sign on and pay €5 personal accident insurance premium.
Walking of Tests
You may walk all tests except for Test 3/14 and 7/18 as time will not allow. All Drivers must be ready to start Tests promptly when instructed by Marshall’s. Failure to adhere to this will lead to a test max time being applied. NO EXCEPTIONS.
STRICTLY NO ACCESS INTO FIELDS ADJOINING TEST SITES DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF BULLS.
Seat Belts
Seat belts are mandatory for both driver and passenger on all tests and road sections.
Tyres
Only road tyres are allowed on the driven wheels, no M&S or Knobbly tyres are allowed
Double Drivers
On tests where the start and finish are located in the same location, the 1st driver does the test and then returns to the start of the test to swap drivers. We have put another car between the double drivers so by the time this car has finished the test the 2nd driver can slot back in.
On Test 3/14 where the start and finish are in different locations, the first driver starts as normal without the 2nd driver. The start marshal will instruct you as to the correct route to return to the start where they can slot back in for the 2nd driver.
Starting Tests
We have a full entry and a busy schedule i.e. 22 tests in total so it is important that all drivers arrive at the start of the tests ready to go.
Fuel
There are NO Petrol Stations along the Route except at the Fuel Stop after 11 Tests. Furthermore all Cars should be filled with petrol en route to the Venue. There is no Petrol available at the Start Venue.
Lunch & Fuel Stop
Lunch (after test 11) will be at Loughnanes Texaco Service Station, Tullamore Road, Birr. We expect the first car here @ 12.30pm and the first car will restart @ 1:45 pm.
Loughnanes Texaco Service Station are great supporters of the Birr & District Motor Club, So Please Support.
Route Maps
All Drivers will be provided with a good quality B & W Map. Colour Marked Maps will be available to download via birrmotorclub.com.
Please help us to ensure that this event is a great success by driving with care and consideration for other road users along the road sections. Any Crew/Driver observed driving in an inappropriate manner will be excluded and reported to Motorsport Ireland. Please follow the instructions of the officials and marshals at all times.
Thank you for supporting this event and we wish you a very enjoyable and safe day.
Best of luck!
