Kerry’s newest form of motorsport set to hit the lanes this weekend
Killarney and District Motor Club will host an endurance trial in mid-Kerry this weekend.
Endurance Trials are designed to provide a cheap introduction to motorsport. They are a variant of Night Navigation events (rather than a variant of Stage Rallying) but the competitive part of the event takes place on Selectives, which are closed to other traffic.
The Selectives are held on private grounds, such as farm roads, and they vary in length. Some tests will be quite short while others may be several kilometres in length. There is no competitive driving on roads open to the public, but you must drive on public roads to reach the Selectives, aided by a navigator who will guide you using a road book.

TYPES OF VEHICLES
Pretty much any car is eligible but to be eligible for overall awards, cars must conform to the technical regulations laid out in Appendix 35 Article 27 of the Motorsport Ireland Yearbook. There are two such Endurance classes, one for cars up to 1000cc and another for cars up to 1400cc. Only very limited modification is allowed with the emphasis placed on keeping costs low and fun high. Toyota Starlets tend to be the most popular choice of car.
Just as newspapers and magazines are paid for, digital editorial content will also have to be paid for.
