cheap days drifting 10euro to take car out,

i also saw they had tyre machine there if anyone brought spare tyres

there is another day on the 28th of this month might be worth look:)

an imprezza turned up with 180 engine and skyline rear subframe, looked metal, he was only after mocking it up needed coilovers was like a boat lol

anyway have look and see might be handy for few people :)

i was going to go to this but decided it was too far for what it is,,,, if a better layout is possible it should be done. Saying that if it was up to 90 mins away id go to it as is

Maybe a few rear clips could be organised??

Also, any chance of a longer/faster entry?

get a few lads that actually drift to make a proper track layout and clean up the place could be on to a winner , this place has a diffin reputation that needs to be lost before you will get proper numbers

I few bumps never hurt anyone, sure ffs Fermoy is dip heaven.....rights off most cars! But still a great spot......bumps only add to the fun and test drivers.

^^ chuck yeah its not that bad at all .it was only my 2nd time ever drifting and i had no problems at all .
heres a vid below of me in the sil80 and 1 the lads in hes 180sx.
if you have the balls for it u can come down from the top bit and pull the stick by the big building and in around and skim the tire wall all round.
i just didnt have the balls for it as it only my 2nd time drifting haha

yeah there is a few bumps a car with a bit of give no problem, as chuck said worth a shot for ten bob ya spend that on few fags like!

dont knock it yet lads, as the boys in bulmers say..... time dedicated to you! :D

only couple lads tryin to make somewhere to go with not much dosh.

any building thats down there is kind of old with a bit of a history and shame to plough out of it. i throw up few pics of surrondings tomorrow.

but their are ideas there still for something little different:)

The main building cant be knocked as it is registered. This place has been improving the whole time. The more people it gets the more money will be spend on improving it. There is constant work going on here. They are trying to make the best of it as quick as they can for us. Few bumps are there but these will be leveled out in time.
I know its not perfect but for €10 its worth a bit of fun and your money will be used to improve the track for the day after.
