Cannonball will be kicking off this Friday 12th September from Dublin and will bring 160 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 and SoapBox races!! (we like these!)
Some of the awesome cars that we are excited to see on this years on Cannonball are the New Lamborghini Huracan, Ferrari California, Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 458's & 430, Dodge Viper SRT10, the much anticipated BMW i8 not to mention BMW M5's M3's and many many more.
