Organiser, Ronan Cunningham said: “This is the third year of Supercar Sunday and it has already raised almost £70k for charity. It offers families a great day out and a chance to see unique vehicles together in the one place.

“The cars will include Lamborghinis, McLarens and Aston Martins to name a few and Ferarri will be out in force with two very special cars, on display and on track on the Sunday. We are also organising a Gala Ball and charity auction at the Slieve Donard in Newcastle on the evening of Saturday, July 30, with fantastic prizes up for grabs.”

We are really looking forward to this event.” Steve Henry from the Eoin Henry Foundation said: “We are delighted to be benefiting from this wonderful event and the funds raised will be put to good use to help people affected by cancer.”
