The ladies will race in borrowed GP2 cars while the nervous owners look on from the sidelines, worried about their pride and joy - whether that is their partner or their car we’re not sure!

ORC Lightning Rods, Speed Stocks, Saloon Stock Cars and Junior Rods complete the busy schedule, with the first race getting underway at Ballymena Showgrounds at 7:15pm.
