View Full Version : how big will drifting get here??
was just pondering over the taught and thinking to myself if the couple of tracks mentioned on here were to open for the likes of drift days coupled with drift jam,mondello drift days and then prodrift on top of that will it be a case of every small town in the country having a few people interested in the scene wouldnt it be great to see more drift cars and lads gettin their hands dirty helping each other out locally even around me iv noticed people getting out of the mindset of "oh id love a 500bhp skyline for the road" and changing to "i want to get some sort of a car for drifting 0 interior,cage,bit of power for some hardcore sideways action"!! Hopefully it keeps growing and gets to a stage where someone asks "wat are ya into " and before ya even try and explain wat drifting is d massive internal sigh stops happening...

I find drifting being the most complicated motorsport to explain to people , if there wasnt youtube we'd be fucked ha.
Its great to see younger people getting interested in the sport cause that generation will be the ones to make it bigger.
People that don't understand it are always giving out about it , cars look shit , bumpers all cracked , is that your road car ? no ! then whats it for ? drifting and track use . sure thats stupid , would ya not get a road car .... Feck off haha .
Would love to see it getting bigger and I think it will but how big I don't know , defo the best motorsport in the country at least if not europe and all .
Joey some people just don't understand ......... Docco :p haha

id say prob viewer ratings tbh
would be cool if prodrift was on tv tho
i reckon the reason its not growin as much over here as the likes of england an america is jus down to the lack of tracks we have in ireland...if there was more an they were spread out more i reckon the sport could get fairly big cos alot more ppl would be inclined to do practice days if they had tracks close by rather than havin to travel to the other side of the country to use a track

^^ True that .
And I meant regular TV coverage . I know there was a few yokes on before , but it's all gone now . Even just a 10-15 minute slot would be cool .

x2, People just dont know wat it is all about?! Prodrift need coverage it would get serious viewers.. even a section on RPM or something like that?
i dont think that it would get enough viewing to show on telly which is why it isn on.
I agree, a lot of people realised that they don't need 500bhp road skyline but then they say ok I'll get a drift car and where do I go then with it?
The problem of this sport in this country is
1. lack of mid-sized affordable tracks (like WGH)
2. lack of TV coverage
3. prices (mondello)
Reasons from the above (from foreigner's perspective) - please note I'm not going to insult anyone, it's just my findings.
1. Type of society. People are really practical here and cars are meant to go from a to b and that's all, oh maybe to show off their '09D to the neighbours
2. Lack of motoring culture - seriously, most people don't know how to fix simpliest things. Cars are driven to death and without NCT. Ppl don't even bother to google stuff nor to buy tool kit. No wonder that when it comes to garage prices they are O.M.F.G. because they are gods then.
3. Size of the population which relates to the size of the market - nobody will make dedicated tv programme nor build the track for handful of people
4. Availability of machine shops and their prices - try to fabricate something and you'll know what I'm talking about.
5. Availability of consumables - try to find M81.25 bolt or nut, manifold studs etc etc
6. The most annoying one - that the houses are built without any space around never mind the garage so all work is done outdoors which is a pain in the ass as it takes forever to wait for good weather, take tools out, get mate to pull engine out and clean oil spills etc etc.
IMO it's gonna take many years till things change here. And they won't change until the society changes.

where are you from?
well all i can say is thank god PD are kinda makin an effort to bring it around.....abit.
the way i explain driftin is, its like rally but its on a tack and there is lots of tyre smoke :D
It can get bigger but only with the fans help.... The more people that come to the events the more chance of expansion, tv rights, major sponsorship etc... So get out and drag people to events with ye :D
Ppl are too tight, they wont pay 20 euro(which is fair) to see something they can see in johnnys yard for 5 punt! Simples..........Drifting will always associate with diffin, n all that craic!! No hope here.........At the end of the day the hardcore drifter drives for his enjoyment and not tv coverage etc.........

think tis covers it all i think where drifting is in ireland at the min is a good spot it,ll grow slowly over the yrs but never as much as america imo
the biggest thing wrong with the scene for me is the atmosphere is totally gone from the events

What do you people say when people ask what car is it you have?
like, by now i have tought all my friends what a 180sx is etc, but for those people like adults/lads down the road...
Everytime i get asked what car is it? i just sigh... and ask them do they want the long or short story!
Nissan Silvia seems to keep them happy :/

that i agree with nobody ever backs anyone at events no clappin or cheering thats all part of it and never a crowd at the amature and non seeded events i think there just as important as exciting its down to us as pd dan said and yeah fairplay to pd in fairness great effort
20 euro for the spectators is way too much basically.

would be nice 2 get more track days here and the mondello chaerge 150e per car thats a bit pricey i think drop the price and hve more track days would b the better choice and for watergrasshill 2 open back up for drift days etc would hve alot more people 2 go watch it down south. most of the lads just go 2 slabs etc and pay 10e for a days diffin and they du be happy out i know u cnt compare diffin to drifting but its the price of track days etc thats turning lads 2 the slabs..
would be nice to see it be big here in ireland
I peeeeeeeeersonaly think its going to get smaller. Events are getting worse for the fun factor, as its just a power race these days and the crowd is always DEAD.
More lads around here are getting streeto cars and shying away from track cars!

WGH is absolutely definately not going to be open for drifting anymore have discussed this with management of the place due to fellas goin absolutely mick in the cars and rootin up the grass Dave doesent want to be associated with it anymore they make way way way more profit from the other sports they have there anyway!!! :(
IMO the 20euros entrance is very expensive it stops your average fella thinkin we'll tip in for a look ive heard an awful amount of fellas saying there going to the drifting until they find out the price.
ya i can see it gettin smaller to, like only the deadicated fans will go
where are you from?
I'm from Poland. And drifting over there means something uber cool.
In just few years it went into completely different dimension there :
There's a TV channel "TVN Turbo" dedicated to cars (and porn after 10pm:D) with "drift kings" programme covering nearly all drift events there.
Despite lack of money but thanks to sponsors cars range from usual tramp e30's e34's, through other BMW's with 3.5, 4.0V8, V10 swaps, even saw an s13 with BMW 4.4 lump in it WTF?:D. Plenty of other machinery, s13's, s14's 1jz, RB too.
There's a main full size track - Poznan Circuit plus other smaller tracks
In Poznan EDC champion (2008) Maciej Polody is running drift track days (as far as I know)
Seems like any track that can be used is/will be used for drifting. Over there it's about making place/town/region popular to bring money, sponsors, crowd and tv to the town.
Tomek on here put some nice vids recently - note sponsors on cars/tracks and crowds:eek:
No red tape/bullshit/promoting friends etc attached to all of this.
I hope it'll happen in Ireland soon as well as I'm living here and will be for the next two years.
Drifting can be one of things to break that blur of recession nonsense in this population, make Irish happy again. And keep them excited and busy, away from the depression and other problems related to it.

yeah true. spectator entries into prodrift are too dear! its all a money game like every motorsport! if u dont have the best ur at nothing if you want to compete !
and the same with mondello! they shud not charge anyting for looking at track days up in mondello

Yeah i think the way forward is more street driven cars with more of a focus on going to the track to have a bit of craic.
There's going to be less and less people able to afford dedicated competition cars in the next few years anyway.
More drift jam type events would be more appealing to me personally than competitions. Drifting for drifters rather than spectators.
The only track that is really up for having a craic and no pressure is Goldstone. Tullow has the same attitude, but it ain't a track.
I reckon we should all up ship and head to Poland. we know the women are tasty and according to Arnie the tracks and attitude are tasty too.

Don'y know if this has been said , cant really be bothered reading back through all the pages , but I'd love to see a day where you could have it like the japs with the d1 street legal events.
Be cool to see people drifting in their road cars and not having to fork out €150 to do mondello when no one is there .
Have it as an extra event at prodrift , even just for the summer .
Like when punchestown finished , it was still bright for hours and when it was over , that was it , it was over and everyone just left .
Be good to have something to look forward to after , even for the pro's to relax and watch when they don't have so much pressure on them .
I know its a bit like the driftjam and prodrift can't do everything , it was just an idea of mine .
:DWe can only hope it picks up more and events can happen more regularly:)
The only way forward is sideways!!!!!!!!!:D

Agreed, Spectators are not going to pay 20euro to stand in the cold all day with no seats or coverage from the weather.
If that 20euro included a draw for a few passenger rides, that might make people feel less ripped off.
You made some really good points in your earlier post-
The lack of garden space/ garage space been given to house built in the last ten years is a joke. Nothing is safe these days so if you are going to strip and cage a car it needs somewhere safe to stay.
i think the closure of Rosegreen after all thats where irish drifting was born, and maybe Prodrift turning into a money making machine has seen drifting in ireland go down the plughole, i remember back in the good ould days of drifting rosegreen would have a packed out crowd, the commentator would know every driver even have nick names on them and would be stuck out in the middle of the track while the drivers were doin there parade lad and doin rings round him, great value for money and smiles all round, none of that now anymore, so i think untill drifting becomes fun for the spectator its goin to be a long time growing to its full potental in ireland, god knows we have some of the best drivers in the world here, thats my 2 cents,

Yeah you're dead right. Some people were always giving out about maurice but he knew how to have the craic with the drivers and get the crowd going.
There was a great atmosphere and people got behind the drivers. The crowd actually gave a fuck about who won.
It would be great to have that atmosphere back again.
i feel it is the commentater that gets the crowd goin and gibbons dose a shit job at that.even when he trys no1 listens to him

well arnie i wish i worked with more polish guys like you!most of the polish lads i know probably think im some sort of money squandering fool cos of my cars!
most of the attitudes you pointed out are a boom time thing obviously it was a very different country before this!diy of all sorts went out the window when ye had enough money to pay people to get things done(not the way i or most people i know live)
in the eighties we had no money but huge motoring culture,the five day circuit of ireland had daily reports on rte!stock car and banger racing was everywhere,i listen to endless storys from older cousins, uncles about the endless work theyd carry out on what ever ould yoke they could afford to keep it together, make it faster, look better,i found out recently a guy over the road was probably the first lad in ireland to swap twincam running gear(from a petrol bombed cam from the troubles in the north!) into a roadgoin starlet which he then switched to a rotory out of an rx7..in the eighties!
i could go on rambling but basically what im sayin if ye think something your doin is new something similar has been done!
drifting and other motorsport has takin a huge dive but hopefully it will level out and evolve,the fat has been trimmed i suppose
drifting needs different classes simple as,300 horses are nothing these days,its close competetion we want not dyno results

lad on the embarressed part your right! my theory is (and it may sound stupid) when people are at pd events there scared of there shit to clap and cheer because they might NOT LOOK COOL! and its the truth! we clap and cheer at most events and you see people and young lads looking at us basically saying:
: " wat the fuk are those idiots at? if a young 1 saw them doing dat they'd never pull!"!! it might sound stupid but thats the way it is! too many people thinking of there own sort of reputation over anything else! its a joke!

I no for a fact that Pd are trying something for City West to try get the buzz and atmosphere back so people PLEASE go there with an open mind and no worries of how you look when cheerin...
If everyone on here starts shoutin no1 will look stupid!
If anyone has any suggestions bar the obvious commentator 1s that yer fireing up just shout and if theres any good 1s il do my utmost to push em threw... Im lik REALLLI lookin forward to City West and have a reallllli good feeling about it being a memorable day dudes...
Yeah your dead right ! the americans are just proud they would even cheer in a library it they could! and yeah the DI stand ws buzzin! only that im not the tallest lad on the world i would have been over there only that i cudnt see atin!!!! hahaha! but yeah we always cheer on for sinnott! and its the thoery i posted a few post up! but i dont care! and me and ed and out crew of lads will go over to all of yee and get the place rocking! and thats a feckin promise:p
oh and on the question of how to liven things up a bit! just tell all the drivers on the day! enjoy yourselfs and get out of your car after a run and get the crowd going!

is modofied motors car show on up there too??? in cw i mean?
Back to the atmosphere again,there used to be everyone cheerin in mondello like two years ago,if a car came around honda corner and flashed his lights everyone in the stand would be standing up and screaming!it was brilliant.
i think the main reason we dont have the atmosphere is because of gibbons standing in the pd tent..even if he got out on the track it would living things up a bit..

shur wat does it matter! go to any other sports event and who hasnt a microphone and a few beers!:D
well to be honest i want a explanation from one of the PD organisers right now why this wasnt allowed!
reli i want an answer!
shur if it was a bit of crack and every1 was enjoying themselves shur why not??? might have brought the spirit back into things
Nixon may know, he was told to go over and disable us of our cheering weapons! It wasnt him, just because he was up and down from the tower he got given the honours!
PD is fecking no crack.
