Skerries Circuit 2005 2.9 Miles
The Circuit History.
In 60 years of racing at Skerries, five circuits have been used for the annual Festival of Speed. From 1946 to 1963 the famous 7.1 mile lap which included the main streets of Skerries town was used. Spectator safety considerations resulted in a shorter circuit being introduced in 1964. At 6.56 miles this course bypassed the town and was used until 1968. For 1969 and 1970 an even shorter 4.33 mile course was used before the current 2.92 mile circuit was introduced in 1971. Races are run in an anti-clockwise (lefthand) direction.
