TRACKS: DUNDALK

IRL - IRELAND

DUNDALK

Description

Proposal for an permanent circuit. It has three tight corners, two fast corners and three straights. The goal was to open it within Summer 1970 and to host international races in 1971. This area can be easily reached from Eire and Northern Ireland. Several races were raced in this area on some tracks, but I don't know if this one was ever built and used.
