Once a regular feature of Killarney and District Motor activities, the grass roots sport of autocross will be celebrated the Avenue Hotel on Saturday night.

Doyle’s pit was once a hotbed of young rally talent and many current top drivers within the club started out in autocross racing.

The last Doyle’s Pit event was in and around 2009 and now the club has extended an invitation to all who races, marshalled or spectated at the venue to meet up for a social occasion on Saturday night.
