Mercedes-Benz Ballsbridge Announced as Official Car Partner to Day One of Irish Champions Festival

Mercedes–Benz Ballsbridge have been announced as the Official Car Partner to day one of Irish Champions Festival, bringing the luxury iconic car manufacturer’s thrilling horsepower to Leopardstown Racecourse.

Having first made our debut with Leopardstown Racecourse as Official Car Partner to the Leopardstown Christmas Festival last year, this partnership will now expand to day one of Irish Champions Festival at Leopardstown Racecourse, Saturday 14th September.

Much like the Mercedes-Benz brand, flat racing is synonymous with high performance, speed and precision. Irish Champions Festival is a two day flat fixture boasting a prize fund of over €4.5 million across the weekend. The weekend is the flagship flat fixture in the Irish calendar attracting international runners, riders and connections. Racing at Leopardstown features five Group races including the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes. The Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes is regularly rated as one of the World's top flat races with past winners including Auguste Rodin, Magical, Golden Horn and Sea The Stars.

Racegoers on day one of Irish Champions Festival can expect to see prestigious Mercedes–Benz car models displayed around the enclosure, including all-electric, hybrid, petrol & diesel models. In addition to Mercedes–Benz car displays, Mercedes–Benz Ballsbridge will have an onsite presence on the day, with opportunities to meet and engage with the team.

Keep your eyes peeled on our social media platforms over the coming days as we begin our giveaway competitions to win free tickets to attend the prestigious event at Leopardstown Racecourse next month.
