Mondello to host European Car festival showcase

Following on from the circuit’s successful ‘Jap-Fest’, ‘Classic Car Live’ and ‘Motorcycle Expo’ events, Mondello Park is adding a European Car Festival, 'Euro-Fest', to its stable of shows for 2011, writes Fergus Brennan. The new show takes place in March and will be a celebration of European Cars, both standard and modified, and for the first time at the Kildare venue will include a Supercar section.

The addition of the show comes on foot of requests from car clubs and owners for a European version of the highly successful 'Jap-Fest' show, which runs at Mondello in September each year. The inaugural 'Euro-Fest' show is set to take place on Sunday March 27th and will include a mix of on and off track action.
