In Pictures: Triumphant return for Festival of Motorsport at Loughgall Country Park

Loughgall motorsport event

It was a triumphant return to action for the Armagh Lions Club as they returned to Loughgall Country Park on Saturday for their signature Festival of Motorsport event.

It was a roaring success as hundreds turned out for what was a relaxing family day showcasing motoring excellence down through the years, including vintage, classic, rally, performance, and speciality.

The event also supported three groups this year – the NI Air Ambulance, Lough Neagh Rescue and Angel Eyes.

Check out the photos from the event below:
