Want to drive Mondello with Continental Tyres and safety systems?

Irish motorists, particularly young drivers, are being invited to experience tyre and automotive safety systems developed by Continental, writes Brian Byrne.

The Vision Zero Live driving safety event at Mondello Race Circuit in County Kildare will be held on Saturday October 13 (9.30am-4pm) with complimentary lunch provided.

Participants will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a fleet of cars on the iconic Mondello track where and take part in a range of tyre safety and automotive technology demonstrations.

These will include manoeuvres such as an emergency stop at a range of speeds in dry and wet conditions to demonstrate the distance it can take to stop a vehicle — along with a number of other compelling driving modules to highlight the role of driver awareness and new automotive technologies.

A fleet of different cars will be used for the demonstrations — including BMW, Mercedes, VW, Volvo, and Ford.

This free to attend event is being organised as part of Continental Tyres remit to promote a better awareness of road safety and the latest automotive and tyre technologies that are helping to improve road safety.

Registration can be done by sending an email to info@continentaltyres.ie. Spaces are limited so please register early.
