The Motorsport Ireland National Autotest Championship and Challenge swung into action on February 16th as Midland Motor Club hosted the first round of the 2025 season. The venue, kindly made available by McNulty Wholesale Furniture, is known for its high grip levels. The dry concrete surface was a tough test for car and driver in the past, so there were mixed feelings when the clouds burst and drivers were presented with unfriendly weather but a slightly more friendly surface to contend with...!

With 5 rounds down, and just 2 remaining, the National Autotesting season draws to a close this weekend with a double header finale.
