Continental Tyres has agreed to be title partner of the Irish National Adventure Race Series in conjunction with Series founders Multisport Adventure Ireland and promotion partner Kayathlon.ie, writes Trish Whelan.

The initial one-year partnership will debut at the sold-out ‘Quest Kenmare’ adventure race along the Wild Atlantic Way on 2 March, concluding with the ‘Sea2Summit’ race in Westport, Co Mayo on 9 November.

Adventure Racing is an increasingly popular, outdoor multi-sport event that includes running, cycling and kayaking in some of Ireland’s most rugged and scenic terrains. Events are open to experienced competitors seeking an endurance challenge, as well as novice participants looking to set a personal goal or team challenge.

The National Adventure Race Series was set up here in 2011 by Multisport Adventure Ireland, giving participants an opportunity to compete for national titles. The series offers a selection of top-quality adventure races around Ireland, offering a variety of challenges based on strict criteria. The races include some new localised events plus more established races such as the renowned Gaelforce West and Quest Series events.

The Continental Tyres National Adventure Race Series offers participants an opportunity to become overall champion by achieving the most points which are taken from their top five events in their respective categories.

Speaking at yesterday’s launch, Tom Dennigan of Continental Tyres Ireland said: “This partnership is a really exciting new venture for us. Continental is about more than just cars; we also produce bicycle tyres and have a partnership with adidas to develop premium rubber soles for trail and running shoes.

“All our products, including our premium car tyres, are focused on offering premium grip and safety for challenging environments.” He added: “It’s going to be a lot of fun to dive into a sport that relies as heavily on grip as adventure racing does.”

Paul Mahon of Multisport Adventure Ireland said:”Continental is a premium brand with a commitment to high performance, and they bring a level of expertise and profile that we hope will help to promote this emerging sport. Adventure Racing is the perfect sport for Ireland’s spectacular and diverse landscape. For those taking part it’s all about endurance and preparation, including having the right equipment - an area in which Continental excels.”

To celebrate the new partnership, Continental Tyres is giving National Adventure Race Series participants an opportunity to win a range of additional prizes including bike tyres, adidas trail and running shoes with Continental outsoles and some Advance Pitstop vouchers.

The 2019 National Adventure Race Series starts with Quest Kenmare on 2 March followed by other events including:

Review: Renault Megane RS

This car offers pure performance for people who love to drive, writes Trish Whelan . Renault's Megane RS C-segment hot hatch lives up to its promise of offering exhillerating driving. It can be a right howl to drive, or a well-mannered everyday car.   But performance is the reason customers would want to buy a motor like this, and Renault have a long standing involvement in topflight motorsport and this third generation of the model is packed full of Renault Sport expertise and passion.   My press car dazzled in its Volcanic Orange exterior paintwork that attracted appreciative, and envious looks wherever I drove it. And naturally I loved to show it off. The stand out colour and special engine sound from a new version of the 1.8 direct injection turbo petrol engine delivering a sizzling 276bhp and 390Nm of torque, which blasts it from 0-100km/h in just 5.8 seconds, certainly turned heads during my time with this very special Megane variant from Renault S...

The car comes with petrol engines in 180hp and 225hp versions and diesels with 130hp. 160hp and 180hp outputs. There are four grades available including a GT version flagship. Other than a manual 6-speed available with the 130hp diesel, all versions have an 8-speed automatic. The car is a liftback coupe format, and an estate version is due in the autumn. Its interior features the Peugeot i-cockpit design with the instruments visible over the top of the small steering wheel. In a deliberate policy, the 508 has no badges identifying which fuel type it uses, and only the exhaust tailpipe design indicates it. This will apply to all Peugeot models in the future, including Low Emission (LEV) versions. Colin Sheridan of Peugeot Ireland said the brand intends to continue its investment in improving diesel and petrol engines as well as adding LEV solut...
