It is often said that people love life when it is experienced in all its glory, and what could be better than combining exquisite luxury and supercars, the finest views of Ireland, and the most superior accommodation available? Add some horse power to this by being part of the Claddagh GT 2010 and together you have a great tour around Ireland that benefits some of Ireland’s most worthy charities.
The Claddagh GT Tour promises to be the most exciting luxury car charity event in the all-Ireland 2010 motor calendar. The route for this spectacular road run, which will see the cars take in over twenty counties across Ireland, will give those taking a part a real sense of adventure, making it a truly memorable experience. The exhibition road run will stop at five locations from May 9 2010, including Belfast, Enniskillen, Dublin, Mayo and Cork. So whether it’s behind the wheel at full throttle or simply stopping in at the pit stop to view the magnificent road machines, the Claddagh GT experience is one that is guaranteed to be remembered by all.
Organiser Norman Kerr said, The Claddagh GT is not about racing from A to B, it’s a fun event for like-minded people who have that special car parked in the garage and love the summer arriving to get it out. There will be an awesome range of around 75 supercars and luxury cars from all over the world on display - ranging from Ferrari, Bentley and Lamborghini to Aston Martin and Porsche. This will give any motor enthusiast a chance to see cars from movies, television and glossy magazines within touching distance; as it’s particularly rare that any event could boast that many supercars in the one location! We’d encourage members of the general public to come and marvel at cars that Jeremy Clarkson would only dream of... There will also be a track day at Mondello Park in Naas, in which entrants can really put their pedals to the metal!
There is a charity element too, as Norman explains, The team at Claddagh GT believe in building charity partnerships and supporting charity in local communities. This year’s principal charity is NSPCC, which aims to end cruelty to children by fighting for their rights, listening to them, helping them and making them safe. We’ll raise money for them at the finish line ball through an auction and raffle.
The Claddagh GT officially launched in Northern Ireland on Friday 26 February 2010 at Belfast’s chic Café Vaudeville. Guests enjoyed a Bacardi-sponsored Pina Claddagh cocktail, and heard of great benefits to supported charities of the Tour as well as information on the route, the supercars featured and information on how to get involved with the horsepower.
The Claddagh GT 2010 is sure to be one of the most entertaining exhibitions Ireland will see this year. More information can be found at www.claddaghgt.com.
