Cannonball comes to Cavan
200 supercars and exciting hypercars en-route to the Slieve Russell
Cannonball, the supercar spectacle, is set to roll on September 12-14 with proceeds to The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. On-route this year is the Slieve Russell Hotel, where spectators can view the exceptional cars on Day 3 from 1pm to 2.30pm, before the drivers head off to the Circle K Express Park Ri in Kells for a fuel stop at 3pm.
To date, Cannonball has already raised €2,024,809 for Irish charities and brings a unique and inimitable electric atmosphere to host towns all over the country making it a widely-anticipated free family event for spectators. This year the official charity of Cannonball is The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation - an Irish children’s charity that funds and delivers in-home nursing care, respite support and end-of-life care for children from birth to six years of age with severe learning disability often associated with complex medical needs and is often described as a ‘lifeline’, giving exhausted parent carers a break from their 24/7 care regime.
Cannonball, fuelled by miles+ from Circle K, is the largest organised road trip in Europe featuring the finest cars: From the awe-inspiring power of Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren to the grace and elegance of Porsche, Aston Martin, and Maserati.
This year Cannonball goes up a gear with the addition of a Koenigsegg Regera - a groundbreaking megacar that combines hypercar agility with luxury refinement. Also joining Cannonball is the McLaren Senna which is not just a hypercar; it’s a moving piece of art. Spec’d by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) in a stunning west livery, this Senna is a true one-of-one, mirroring the iconic paint scheme of its Formula 1 counterpart. The stunning Ford GT Heritage Series with the famous Gulf Livery is also back on Cannonball this year.
On Thursday September 11th the Cannonball crew will roll into Johnstown Estate Enfield to get set for another supercar spectacle and this year the sky is the limit for Cannonball as helicopters circle overhead.
Cannonball offers spectators a unique opportunity to witness the world's most prestigious and sought-after supercars up close while enjoying a unique festival atmosphere. The Brazilian Dancers, giant screens, music and fanfare bring all the glamour of carnival and live DJs, bands and festivals in host towns. Organisers are also calling on spectators to dress up in fancy dress with prizes for best dressed. The Cannonballers and celebrities in colourful costumes add to the melee. From Cat Woman to Wonder Woman, Shreck to Gru, Minions to Marios, Cheerleaders to Charlie’s Angels, Batman, the Joker and more, it is a totally unique free family day out.
