Ballyfore brothers help launch Cannonball supercar spectacle

Ballyfore brothers JJ and Christian Doyle were on hand recently to help launch Cannonball 2022 this Sunday, March 13.

Kicking off from 9am to 11.30am, 100 Cannonball super cars will be on display at Kildare Village before the gleaming convoy sets off on a road trip to Lismore Castle in Waterford taking in the famous V Drive and a pitstop at Circle K Cashel.

The spectacular line-up of rare cars includes firm favourites SLR McLaren, Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche GT3 RS, Maserati, Bentley, a BMW M8 Competition, an interesting selection of EV cars and much more.

Cannonball is a free family-friendly event and crew make it a priority to ensure it is accessible for people of all ages and abilities. The cars will be on display in the new Kildare Village car park from 9am to 11.30am.

Cannonball and Kildare Village hosts will be on site to direct spectators to the location so you can get up close, meet the drivers and take pictures.

Cannonball Ireland is the most unique supercar fraternity in the world and the largest organised road-trip in Europe with 190 of the finest supercars on the planet. Think luxury, unforgettable experiences, breath-taking drives, incredible cars and, of course, those random funny and candid moments that make Cannonball so unique.

To date the event has raised over €1,266,000 for Irish charities.

Cannonball was founded by Kildare businessman Alan Bannon in 2008 and now the event is the largest organised road trip in Europe. Cannonball is already on a roll this year with the best ever itinerary of road trips planned for 2022.
