Events
A number of Irish events have a long history such as Ballyallaban (at 3.5 km it is Ireland's longest hill) and The Corkscrew, both venues are near Ballyvaughan in Co. Clare. In general championship events are two day events with each day counting as a separate round. Non championship can be single day or two day events.

The Future
Championship registrations have been increasing in recent years and this trend looks it will continue. Clubs are finding it more difficult to find suitable roads for event due increasing population, this has a trend towards private road sprints typically on Kart tracks
