Entry was advertised as €15 never said anything about €15 online and €20 on the day, you say pd is the same but then you go on to say how far ahead pd is compared to ur series so that makes no sense, the staff on the day were also ignorant fucks
we had 5 northern ireland drivers in the top 6. i rounded up the sixth spot.Quote:

having the relaxed layed back atmosphere worked well for the drivers i think. io understand its a show which has to be put on but if u cand keep the drivers happy will they come back to another. i know i will. having luke fink there to chat to friday and saturday i think was good. .
thats my opinion. :cool::rolleyes:
what about the state of the place the litter and rubbish ?? disgracefull
Fair play for the reply, thats what I say. Most would try hide in the corner until it blows over.
edit: actually any reason for the mix ups of top 16 drivers etc ? any communication technical faults or just general confusedness!? And marshals? to keep spectators safe etc. odd one to be missing
the way i see the mix up with the top 16 battle, would be if me or any other irish person went to another country ware they knew no body's face, no body's name and no body's car, these things can happen lets all get over it
and 20euro on the gate big deal, if it was 15 you would still cry about it we see that after every single event that has ever been held in ireland!!, they do a live stream over the net so stay home and watch that for free
For what its worth heres my 999 cent.
#A top quality motor sport medical, safety and recovery crew is obviously ideal but not necessarily needed. Speaking from past experience simple communication is just fine. Any ambulance crew would do just fine with their own radio and frequency, they may not understand what counts as a bad accident but your track control in the tower surely can. A radio message should have been sent straight away driver out of the car or not. Driver safety should be number 1 priority at any event.
#There is faaaaaarrrrrr too much emphasis on the live stream. The commentator constantly was talking about stuff we couldnt see. In my opinion those who are at the track should be priority as those people payed to be there. I no ye have an international audience but dont bite the hand that feeds ya.
#I thought Faruk was on the mic in Birmingham? Anyways just give him a lsit of driver and car names and specs etc. Even top 16, it cant be that hard to reference when theres only 16 cars.
#Twin battles are soooo confusing. Winners arent always announced. Battles get mixed up. I know of drivers who were half way through a battle and were ushered towards the pits who then had to inform marshalls they had another run left. 5 min rule or not just see out the battle before moving on it makes it soooo much easier to keep track of whos winning etc.
#I remember the lads turning to me and they like me have been following it for yeeeeears saying we havent a notion whats going on imagine those who are at their 1st event?? I couldnt imagine they'd be back.
#Last point. This is ment to be Europes Premier drift series. Having this championship on your CV really could be the thing that gets a driver a drive in Fd etc. Surely it shouldnt be so relaxed. Some drivers didnt really no what was going on but didnt care as there were no sanctions. There are plenty of smaller series that are fun which is awesome but with the money involved in this surely it should be more professional? For example AND NOT having a go at any driver because their obviously gonna love this but i saw a driver being told he had 10 mins to get the car ready to qualify. 25mins later he pulled to the line and the car failed again. Was then left jump into another car and complete his run maybe 30-35 mins after the deadline. Now i personally was delighted as he is definately the calibre of driver you want to see but its very unprofessional looking and possibly even hard on other drivers.
I went to Round 1 in Birmingham and thought it was AWESOME. Driving, organisation, problem solving and atmosphere was amazing and thats why i had such high hopes heading to this event only for them to be dashed. I left early due to sheer and utter confusion.
Fully expect Romania to be an awesome event after this.
Fair play for coming on here and explaining and a huge round of applause to all the Irish drivers who were all on fire the weekend.
Ohhh and on a side note ye deffo do good party organising. Saturday night was full of win and Prodrift could deffo do with taking a look at how ye do that. Top night.
Fact! Party was epic! So much crazyness haha! :DQuote:
