Cannonball will be kicking off this Friday 11th September from the Point Village Dublin and this year is bigger and better than ever as it will bring 180 Super Cars on a weekend tour of Ireland raising funds for
Make a Wish Ireland. It is free for spectators and there are some fantastic festivals planned around the country to tie in with Cannonball. Spectators can get up close, take pictures and chat to the drivers and owners of some of the rarest and most spectacular cars to be seen in Ireland. Some of the towns are running weekend long Cannonball festivals with free music and entertainment for visitors, Cahir is again running its
Gravity Festival which last year was a great success and one of the highlights of the weekend for Cannonballers.
