Countdown is on for Ted’s Opel Vauxhall Run

TED’S Opel Vauxhall Run 2017 will be celebrating the 10th running of the popular event. It takes place on August 12 and August 13. This year’s base is the Blarney Hotel & Golf Resort, Tower, Blarney with special hotel accommodation rates available - early booking is advised!

Registration is from 9am on August 12 and it’s €20 per car including Starter Pack containing 10th Run Souvenir Road book/Programme.

The first award will be presented at 10am and cars depart the hotel at 10.15am. The route on Saturday takes the cars from the Blarney Hotel through Rylane, Aubane, Millstreet, Clondrohid and on to Ballymakeera for a light lunch in the Abbey Hotel.

After lunch the run continues to Kilnamartyra where it will visit the Prince August Toy Soldier factory, then continue through the Kilnamartyra Rally Stage (Sebastian Loeb claimed it was one of the nicest rally stages in the world) onto Inchigeela, Hartnett’s Cross, Coachford, and returning to the Blarney Hotel.

There will be a gala dinner on Saturday evening at 7.30pm in the clubhouse. Tickets at €25 each available from Ted / Denis. There will also be a short Q& A session preceding the dinner with a few guest dignitaries, followed by music after dinner.

On Sunday, August 13, from 11am - 4pm there will be a Static Show in the Blarney Hotel grounds. It is hoped that this will be the biggest Opel / Vauxhall / Bedford / GM event the country has seen. There will be a barbecue available too at €10pp.

The show will consist of cars/vans/trucks/ motorsport vehicles & hopefully a few surprises.
