Day 1
Fota Island to Ballyvolane loop (69miles)
12 May 2025
Today the Fota Island Resort, a luxurious hotel complex outside of Cork, played host to 64 very mature
voitures assembled for the 6th edition of the Vintage Shamrock, run in conjunction with Irish Racing
Green.
The Shamrock is renowned for its four days of fantastic driving and hospitality and today’s 5 star venue, nestled in acres
of mature woodland, sets the tone for what will undoubtedly be a rally to remember. Three decades of motoring exotica
are on the entry list, from the stately and sophisticated to the spritely. A skeletal 1600cc, 1923 Alvis 12 /40 takes the
honours as the oldest, whilst another small car, a 1949, 1250cc MG TC, is the most modern.
