i know but there was still a hell of a crowd,they mightnt be making as much as previous years but with the times were in now there still pulling in the crowds, and as ste said there clothing and sponsers would be making them a few bob too

be interesting to see how it,ll fair out for next yr

yea heard this aswell a few weeks ago:(

Prepare for a driftireland series if it is the case :p

But I highly doubt and really hope it's not, PD over the last while has brought drifting to a whole new level and is without doubt the best series in the world with the resources they have available to them.

Punchestown was empty lad.
the sat was a flop and the only reason the sunday was some what busy was because there was a good few english drivers over for the SS.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were to stop. first sign of people not making as much as they where a year ago and bang its shut up shop and call it a day.
they only have them selfs to blaim tho, over charging into events(both to drive and watch), charging silly money for their products, think i say the PD hoodys on sale for €80 at heatwave.

i think €20 is a reasonable price for a days entertainment i have to say...i was in punchestown on both sat and sunday and didnt think it was totally empty... i think it looked empty as the spectator area was so big, for example look at mondello it always looks packed but look at how small the spectator area in mondello does be

That your right Ste, They went money mad charging absolute mad money for events and are you serious about the hoodys? thats fooking rediclous and i think they need to get down of there high horse with prices!

i heard (did not find out how true) but to enter 1 of the proseries events the entry fee is over €200 :eek:

i was talking to dani at heat wave and she said its cheaper to enter a PD event than any in england, think its €150 for YOUR first event of the year and €100 for the rest. id say the €50 extra is for admin fees.
with over 100 cars at punchestown(136 i think it was) that means PD has taken in at least €5k in admin fees this year.

at the start of the year it costs€150 for the licience day.that includes stickers for the year and entry and licience.
its €100 for pro and 75 for novice
