About Irish Global Lights

What is IGL?

Precision racing on a neon stage

Irish Global Lights (IGL) is a one-make control series focused on close, driver-first racing and low complexity controls.

Drivers compete in uniform chassis, engines, and tyres so budgets stay predictable while lap craft matters the most.

Motorsport Ireland sanction, a 5–6 round calendar, and two sprint races per event keep the championship compact but intense.

What keeps IGL tight

Closed-wheel, prototype-style chassis to keep the field tight.

Yamaha YZF600R 600cc inline-4 tuned to ~120–130 bhp.

6-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shift for quick launches.

Rear-wheel drive and double wishbone suspension all around.

13" control slicks hold grip across every session.

~395 kg ready-to-race, ~350 bhp/tonne for razor-sharp acceleration.
