This year marks the 25^th anniversary of the Down Autograss Club, which is Ireland's longest established Autograss Club, formed in the 80's by Mr Cavan Ferrie. Autograss is a non-contact motorsport that takes place on an oval track using a natural soil surface. Due to the close nature of the racing, thrills and spills are never far away. There are several differing classes of car, from near standard minis or small hatchbacks through to spaceframed single seaters with monster V8 or twin motorbike power. Down Autograss’ next event on the 2^nd & 3^rd of June incorporates round two of the All Ireland Autograss Series, which will attract competitors from all corners of the map, and even a few overseas drivers will pay a visit.

The race circuit is located next to the old airfield on White Lane, Maghaberry. For further information, future race dates, and directions to the track, log onto www.downautograss.com.

Remaining 2012 Race dates are the 16th & 17th June,  7th & 8th July, 25th & 26th August, and the 15th & 16th of September.
