Dear Friends
In light of recent events, circumstances beyond our control and governmental advice, and in a
measure to protect our participants, committee members, families and the wider communities, the
committee have decided to cancel the 2020 Gordon Bennett Irish Classic Car run which was to take
place from 29 th May to 1 st June.
Due to the evolving nature of the situation worldwide, and facing unprecedented circumstances, the
health and wellbeing of our participants and communities is paramount to us during these uncertain
times.
We are monitoring the global situation and we will update details of our 2021 event in the coming
months. We would be delighted if you would join us for our event in 2021, 4 th to 7 th June.
We wish you good health and stay safe in the coming weeks and months and very much look
forward to the opportunity of seeing you next year on the roads of Ireland.
