Shamrock Vintage Challenge 2019

Shamrock Vintage Challenge we are delighted to offer you the opportunity to come and join us for the 2019 event, in the south-west of Ireland. Enjoy the superb driving roads of West Cork and Kerry, taking in the dramatic scenery of the wild Atlantic Way, and the wonderful landscapes that make up the beauty and drama of this part of Ireland. For 2019 we will start in east Cork at the 5-star Castlemartyr Resort where we will spend our first night before heading on to West Cork and Kerry where we will be based at the wonderful 5-star Sheen Falls Hotel outside the very pretty town of Kenmare for the next three nights. Sheen Falls is the perfect venue as apart from being one of the best hotels in Ireland, it is also small enough that we can take over the entire hotel and have it all to ourselves.

Your team has been ferreting away in search of suitable terrain. We have enjoyed rediscovering roads that seem like old friends and discovering new roads that most competitors will never have driven on before . The area is littered with names that evoke motorsport of a bygone era. The Healy Pass, Moll’s Gap, Roughty River and Ballaghbeama Gap are just a few to whet your appetite. As on the 2018 Shamrock, the entire route has been laid out with older vehicles in mind. Smooth roads, little or no reversing on tests, simple tulip instructions for the road sections and a variety of straightforward directions for the regularity sections. Again, there will be plenty of time allowed for socializing and chat at the various coffee and lunch halts.
