What's goin on ?
Who's organising it now ?
I though this was going to be turning a new leaf and an improvement to pro drift both for drivers an spectators ?
In all fairness driftfest venues look great especially citywest and pallas and Idc dropped the best round from last year in tullyroan.Quote:

He was rightly pissed off about it all the whole thing and just wanted them gone , not to be back!! " not for diamonds"
You have to take into consideration how hard it is for I.D.C to organize each round, because of them huge entry numbers etc.. not only is driver pit area a problem but the spectator parking also has to be taken into consideration.. There does be a huge following of fans etc.. to each event. I know people say they wont be attending I.D.C etc.. or lets go to BDC.. but the thing about it is if you want to compete with the best you got to go where the best are.. That goes without saying I.D.C. have by far the best drivers. In my Opinion...
2013 Will be a big year for The I.D.C with a lot of lads pushing for the championship, Some big names and some big builds..
We are really excited to be apart of it and with the new Motors T.V. Coverage, it will make an exciting year ahead! Roll on Round 1!!!
My two Cents... Some may not agree but that's how i see it.
Think Chris said it best,If you want to be part of the best series you compete in IDC/Prodrift.
Plus it's a feeder series for FD ,Have many come from bdc on to drive FD?

I've driven in all 3 last year and I don't think the level of competitiveness, or driving standard is the same compared to IDC. The middle ground is about the same, but the very top guys aren't in my opinion. The cars yes, the hp certainly, but raw driver talent? Not as much......again only in my opinion. Every championship has its flaws, IDC BDC and Driftfest, and they always will, as does any drift championship in the world.Quote:

This time of year people always seem to be really negative towards PD, it was the same last year that nobody was going to do it etc. Come Punchestown then we were all singing its praises at a great event.......
Very true Mr Egan! And we will be door to door very soon :D
I'm the same as yourself always wanted to win the I.D.C. and 2013 is the year that shits gonna go down!!lol
In my eyes also unless james deane is competing in full championship and you beat him then you are a true champ!lol He's the guy to beat! ( Don't be blushing james buts it's FACT!! ).. Don't get me wrong every champ winner is on the ball and the best Ireland has, It speaks for itself! Too many to list Old and New!!
Would love to attend as many driftfest events as possible, see how our budget go's etc.. and a round of B.D.C would be great to get out with all these guys, great lads! Wish every competitor in each championship the best of luck and a successful year ahead filled with smoke and FUN!!
Stevo, logging will be €150 as the same with every year. Its a name change not a new series! As for mondello, run 2 different ways and knowing Mr Hynes it wont be at all easy. BDC is the same track, same way, every time. Driftfest are still learning their way and will definately be one to see this year but in all honesty no series beats IDC. If it were not for PD this small Island wouldnt have so many serious drivers.
To respond to the comments here, we wish IDC and BDC drivers a great year and to all the Drivers who compete in our series all we can say is, Roll on 2013. As we are a new championship I hope you all will support us and help us to be as great as others some day.
