Background
Visiting
A section of the A26 Moira Road, running from Nutts Corner Roundabout for approximately 2 km, is constructed on one of the old runways. The airfield was used from 1984 to 2004 for events such as the Irish Superbike Championships and Rallycross, but it was restricted due to noise complaints from local residents. A small section of the circuit continues to be used by the Northern Ireland Karting Club (NIKA) and the Ulster Karting Club. The site is also used for a weekly market and a model aircraft club is on the site.
