Driftireland day at goldstones

Ha! Sickened we're clashing as Punchestown is a pretty cool setup but what can you do. No doubt the Irish boys will come out on top ;)

talk of there being a drift practice day on the saturday on the punchestown track might be worth taking that into consideration before settting the goldstone date

How the fuck do you come up with a statement like that?
MM have no control over the drifting in any shape or form,
Its prodrift running it as a main attraction to Show.

Its does be as good to watch as any JDM allstars event?
Its the first event of its kind here,So how would you know?
Have you been to a JDM event to even compare?



If this goes ahead it'll defo be worth being there,Its going to be huge and possibly outdo any event in this Country so far,I'll be interested to see if it still goes ahead either way.

Seems like an unfortunate case of bad timing but should be a good event none the less. JDM Allstars is a really cool event and if it takes a similar format it should be a great day out. Any idea on how many and which continental European drivers are making the trip over?

conor-vtec86

nope he is building the new re86 for this event,so being said anyway,in fairness be cool to see hime drive in ireland again

I was pretty puzzled when I heard about it on DW a couple weeks back, although it was posted some time in August I think. Publicity hasn't been great unless I'm looking in the wrong places. Prodrift have an account on here but I guess they'd probably tied to DW

its almost always like that on dw,they used to give out about any effort irish lads did to put on an event like this,look trough the past 3years of posts u will see that. irish lads make a good effort to go and compete over there,very few come over here. so they will moan instead. U know u wanna go anyway dude ha ha :p

Results,

1st Ireland Team 1
2nd Northern Ireland
3rd Ireland Team 2
4th England

The new format is for the battle of the nations event, instead of having a knockout competition, they have a league table. Each driver competes against ever member of the other nations team, and its 3 points for a win, 1 point each for a draw, and zero if you loose. The nation with the most wins the round.

Today, England was against Northern Ireland, and Ireland Team 1 was against Ireland Team 2 in the first round. The losing teams competed for 3rd and 4th place with the winning teams of the first round then competing against each other in the final.

They hope to have 8-10 nations in the event next year. They was meant to be 4 this year, but the Dutch had mechanical trouble and were unable to attend, so Ireland Team 2 took there place.

For Ireland team 1, it was the two top championship finishers and Darren. For team Ireland 2 I guess it was those that were available to go, pretty short notice I guess.

Mikey Fitz was an easy enough replacement for Shane Lynch, his car was already there, it was on show.

Should have some photos up tomorrow

Fair play lad, that's a good explanation.
Congrats to Mike,James+ Darren :cool:
