Mondello Park CW

The clockwise configuration at Mondello Park represents Ireland's only international motorsport venue's standard direction, flowing through up to 3.621 kilometers of the International Circuit located in Caragh, County Kildare, approximately 30 miles from Dublin City Centre. Running clockwise from the original 1968 layout, the circuit evolved significantly with the 1969 Duckhams Loop addition bringing lap length to 1.860 kilometers before the 1998 International Circuit extension created the current 3.621-kilometer configuration. The clockwise direction earned FIA International status in 2001 following investment and development in 1999-2000, establishing Mondello as Ireland's premier racing venue for both national and international championships.

Operating clockwise at Mondello Park showcases the circuit's evolution from club racing venue to international-grade facility, with the direction serving as the standard flow for the International Track that hosts major European and national championships. The circuit offers two primary configurations including the National Track and International Track, with the clockwise International layout providing the most comprehensive challenge across Ireland's motorsport infrastructure. Ireland's maritime climate creates unpredictable weather conditions where rain can arrive suddenly during sessions, with the clockwise flow creating specific wet-weather challenges where standing water accumulates in predictable locations. Mondello's proximity to Dublin positions it as Ireland's accessible motorsport destination, serving the nation's racing community with club events, driving experiences, and international championships that showcase the clockwise International Circuit as the facility's flagship layout.
