Any of ye know where i might find the route of this years circuit of ireland?
cheers
I hunted around on the websites for this e.g. circuitofireland.net and there doesn't appear to be any detailed indication of the route. It seems a pretty odd way to run things.
did that myself!
aye ket all together!
Its in round Mayobridge/Rostrevor on Sunday I think. There are notices in the local papers about road closures.
best thing to do is buy the program for the event, it has the details of all the stages and tthe best routes in and out, along with the best vantage points for the stages. you can order them from the website above!

asstated you can buy them from this site.....

probably a good idea, my da phoned last night to tell me that the local paper had details of the stages around home and Crossmaglen over the weekend, so i am sure the Newry Reporter and the likes will have something similar over the next few days.

It's on in areas of silverbridge (not crossmaglen) on Saturday - various roads are shut from something like 8am to 4.30pm.
Can anyone tell me at roughly what time I should go and stand in a field to look at it?

POG,
it will depend what time the first car is due on the stage, you can usually walk up the road up to half an hour before it is due on the stage.
Park firme is in Castlewellan
Have no real interest in friday and not exactly sure where the stages are...
Saturday stages are in omeath, cross, back to newry and then on to newtownhamilton, Keady, darkley and derrynoose, (the last three done twice which will include night stages)
Sunday stages are around castlewellan, banbridge and liatroim areas...
If the roads stay in the shape they are in now there will be plenty of (sidewards) action for the spectators!!
Aye Hank ye may watch out for car 202 going sideways all day... :D

Although rallying takes place in cross every night of the week you'll get it hard to find the Circuit of Ireland there on saturday!
