Killarney

<h3>Horsepower of a different kind is set to take over Killarney Racecourse next week.</h3>
The venue will host three different car events across two weekends in September. On September 5, the racecourse will host the finish of the Bumblebee 1000 Supercar &lsquo;South Coast Drive&rsquo;. Over 40 supercars, including examples of Porsche, Lamborghini, Ford Mustang and Aston Martin will set off from Dublin on September 3 to raise money for the Jack and Jill Foundation.
After overnight stops in Wexford and Cork the drivers will make their way to the finish line at Killarney Racecourse. More details of this event will be released in due course but the cars are expected in Killarney around 2pm on September 5.
Two weeks later the Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club will run its annual classic car show at the Ross Road venue.
This is the first time since 2019 that the local classic car club will run its annual show and this year they will join forces with Killarney Cars &lsquo;n Coffee to run a double-header event on September 19.
&ldquo;Killarney Cars &lsquo;n Coffee was always looking for a new venue after a successful run at KC Print,&rdquo; local organiser Ger Neeson told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;By working with Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club we can show what we do alongside another established event.&rdquo;
Tom Leslie of Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club said the club was looking forward to running its event after a two year absence.
&ldquo;It is time to get those cars polished,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We usually run in July but we had to wait until we could see what we could do with all the restrictions and we are delighted to be back up and running.&rdquo;
