Scottish driver Anthony Reid has finished on the podium at Le Mans for Porsche and is notable as a saloon-car specialist for Nissan and Ford, as well as a test-driver and in historic racing.


Former F1 driver Emanuele Pirro has five Le Mans 24-hour races as a works Audi driver on his resume, as well as test driving duties for McLaren and Lamborghini, and is one of a handful of FIA stewards. He and his sons Cris, an engineer with Alfa Romeo F1, and Goofy, an engineer for a leading F3 team in Italy, will be driving in the SA 9 Hour as a three-man team.  This is the very first time that the Pirro family has raced together, so history will be made at Killarney.


The SA 9 Hour Endurance race has classes for everything from lightly modified ‘hot hatches’ to Sports & GT Cars, Backdraft Cobra replicas and just as intense are the two one-hour endurance races for the SA GT series, one on Friday and one on Saturday, featuring GT3 cars such as Lamborghini Huracans, Porsche 997 GT3s and Ferrari 488s. These exotic supercars are capable of astonishing lap times, accompanied by a howling soundtrack that’ll give you goosebumps on your goosebumps!

 

We look forward to another action packed Motorsport day at the clubhouse with you.
