Motorsport Ireland confirms gated motorsport can restart from June 7th

Motorsport Ireland is pleased to announce that permitted events can resume with effect from June 7th, subject to local restrictions and in accordance with its own Return to Sport Protocol.

Motorsport Ireland will now engage with its affiliated clubs to produce a calendar of gated events for the remainder of the year. The status of non-gated events will be clarified in due course once we have further information from Sport Ireland. 

Motorsport Ireland President, John Naylor, commented: “We are extremely grateful to the government and Sport Ireland for providing the opportunity for motorsport to resume in Ireland next month in line with other outdoor sports. This is positive news for our community and after seven full months without any events, it will be great to return to the sport we all love. COVID-19 protocols still apply and our sport must continue to play its part in supporting the health service and wider frontline community in keeping infection rates under control. We can now look forward to getting motorsport up and running next month.”
