The dates for the 2018 'Parts for Cars' Irish Rallycross Championship have been announced with the growing championship set for a innovative six event calendar.

The championship trail will see competitors race on four different tracks as well as completing a pair of two day events for the first time.

Mondello Park will be the venue for the opening round on March 4th, with the traditional Rallycross layout kicking off the season. Round two will take place over two days on an all new track layout, as the championship runs alongside the IDC for the first time.

Next up will be the annual 'Into the West' trip to Tynagh Co. Galway, before the championship returns to Mondello Park in July for its second two day event of the season.

Following the midsummer event, the drivers will take a break before finishing off the season with two more rounds at Mondello Park in October and November. October's event will run on the reverse version of the Mondello Park Track while the November finale which revert to the traditional layout.

Rallycross as a spectacle is right up there with the best that Motorsport has to offer and Ireland has a rich history in International Rallycross, with Irish drivers having competed successfully around the world. We believe that Rallycross has the potential to be the biggest motorsport in Ireland within the next few years and we’re happy to be at the forefront of making that potential a reality.”
