Tesla is hosting a special test drive event at Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa on Sunday, from 10am to 4pm.

The event offers the public an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Tesla and experience the car’s latest safety and convenience features first-hand.
Those who register and complete a test drive will also receive a restaurant or bar voucher to use at the award-winning hotel, located on the outskirts of Tralee.
Tesla advisors will be on-site to answer questions and walk drivers through the key technology and performance benefits of Tesla vehicles.
This event further builds on an existing partnership between Tesla and Ballygarry.
In 2021, Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa became the first hotel in Ireland to install an official Tesla Supercharging Station. A 10-year agreement was signed to provide charging infrastructure to Tesla drivers staying at or visiting the property.
The hotel, long known for its commitment to sustainability, was an early adopter in supporting electric vehicle infrastructure in the hospitality sector. The presence of Tesla’s fast-charging facilities on-site has made it a key stop for Tesla owners travelling through Kerry.

Killarney Rally Masters has confirmed two more high-profile additions for its event at Killarney Racecourse on Saturday, September 27.

Irish rally icon Andrew Nesbitt and Swedish star Kalle Grundel have been added to the list of competitors.
Nesbitt will drive his famous Mitsubishi Lancer WRC, the car he used to win the 2006 Donegal International Rally. The Killarney event will be the last chance for Irish fans to see the car before it heads to San Marino for Rally Legend the following weekend. Nesbitt is a two-time winner of the Rally of the Lakes.
In a remarkable story, Grundel will be reunited with a man involved in a frightening incident from the 1986 Circuit of Ireland Rally. Nearly 40 years ago, Grundel’s Ford RS200 struck a young spectator who ran onto the road. The man, now grown, will meet Grundel for the first time at the Killarney event. An RS200 will also be part of the reunion.
The one-day showcase will feature 50 cars from the Group B, Group A, and early WRC eras. Other confirmed drivers include Billy Coleman and Patrick Snijers in BMW M3s, and World Rally Championship driver Josh McErlean in a Ford Focus WRC.
Organised by Killarney and District Motor Club, with support from Motorsport Ireland and Kingfisher Insurance the event will raise funds for the Jack and Jill Foundation and Laura Lynn Children’s Hospice.
Tickets are already selling fast and organisers expect a sell-out well in advance of rally day.
