A fleet of world-class cars will rally into Guildhall Square as part of a family-friendly fundraiser for the Mayor’s chosen charity in May.

Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Sandra Duffy, welcomed the return of the Supercar event following a hugely successful turn out in 2022.

The event will take place on Saturday 13th May when local car enthusiasts, Gary and Stephen McCaul, bring up to 40 cars including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche and McLarens together with a world famous ex F1 Champion’s race car to Guildhall Square and Harbour Square for the public to get up close and personal.

Mayor Duffy is hosting the event to raise funds for her chosen charity, First Housing Aid and Support Services (FHASS). FHASS is a local charity which tackles homelessness and the ongoing issues that come along with such difficulties such as addiction and therapy needs.
