Truck Show and Racing return to Mondello

After more than a 10-year absence, the Mondello Truck Show makes a welcome return to the Irish Show scene complete with the return of the popular Truck Racers. Always one of Mondello Park's most popular events, this two-day festival of road transport will be held at the County Kildare motor racing circuit on 20 & 21 July.

Truck displays, trade stands and competitions will form the main off-track ingredients of the show. On-track entertainment will be provided by the popular Truck Racing, which will see a selection of the top trucks from the UK championship take part in a number of demonstration races over the two days of the show. The 1000hp racers will be backed up by a number of additional track activities, including a Truck V's Car Car challenge and the Irish Time-Attack championship.

Like any Truck Show, big interest will be generated by the Static Displays where truck owners and truck drivers can compare and contrast each others 'pride and joy', while also vying for big prizes from Top Truck to Best Working Truck to Best Kept Fleet. Other attractions will include the Quickest Courier, a Stop & Go competition for cab units on the main straight and Motorcycle stunts in the Paddock.

John Morris, Managing Director at Mondello Park is delighted to see the return of the Mondello Park Truck Show. “we are really pleased to reinstate the spectacle that is the Mondello Truck Show. Thanks are due to Irish Ferries who are helping us with some logistics and Fleet Transport, our media partners. Over the next few months we will be announcing full details of this family orientated event and welcome trade enquiries and truck entries for the many categories on offer”.
