Back for a second year following its instant success last year, Classic Fest has already become a must-attend show for lovers of all things vintage and classic. Over 25 classic car clubs are travelling to the event from Donegal to Cork and Kerry to Carlow, so almost every county will be represented in Galway Racecourse this Sunday.

Top seeds by virtue of winning the Tarmac Championship last year are Josh Moffett & Andy Hayes in a Hyundai i20 R5. This crew also won Galway last year to set them on the way to championship success.
