Yes you need to contact them Asap, the cut off for round 1 entries is today.
€150 for logging
€130 for entry to each round
You must have a fire-retardant race-suit along with gloves and boots to compete at IDC this season.
Contact Dave Egan if you wish to enter.

O? It's very badly explained/ advertised. Can you get the car logged at any event or is it only at the start of the season? Do you need the suit with you whilst getting the car logged?
You can log the car the day before or maybe the morning of any event.
I think you need the suit etc at the logging.
Semi-pro entries for Rd1 is being capped at 95cars "there's currently 92 cars entered".
If there's more than 95 , priority will be given to previous idc drivers, then the remaining rookies will be drawn at random.
Entries for Rd2 will be a lot less, with priority given to championship point scorers from rd1.
Less in Rd cause many will be smashed in rd 1?Quote:

Cause I was contemplating competing this year but if have to spend €2,000 on my car between cage and suspension and that's not even chasing power.
So I decided not to go for it as it's just not feesable for me at the moment.
Come join us at Clubloose, we are aiming to give everyone maximum track time as well as an awesome day out especially for the semi pro drivers.Quote:

Ya heard about that alright, when ur planning on running?
Then what's the story with groups and things? Like I've done a lot of practice days over the last 3 years on a few different track including mondello international, but because I don't hold an idc licence would i have to drive in the "armature" class? And not be allowed to tandem?
Thats what I can make of it tooQuote:

YOU DO NOT NEED an IDC License, the IDC license (if held) is just to use as a guide for making the groups.Quote:

See below >
A Group -
For advanced level drivers, must hold or have held an IDC Pro license / competed in the Pro ranks and be comfortable with tandem drifting. Must have all the necessary safety equipment required for drifting at that level ( race suit, gloves, proper roll cage etc ). Tandem and multi car drifting / team drifting is allowed in A group so you should be working on running closer with the other drivers on the fastest line through the course.
B Group -
For intermediate level drivers, capable of drifting the course in single runs but need to improve their tandem drifting skills. Must have held an IDC semi pro / rookie license or have some track drifting experience and possess all the necessary safety equipment to compete / drive at that level ( race suit, gloves, proper cage etc ). Single runs and two car tandem drifting allowed in B group so you should be working on running a consistent line, chasing a lead car or drifting under pressure from a chase car .
C Group -
For beginners who have minimal or no experience drifting. Minimal safety equipment required, road cars may be used once the mandatory fire extinguisher is present. Single car runs only on a modified track layout to keep the speed down and give the drivers as many laps as possible. The more experienced drivers will be available to assist beginner drivers and give tips and advice if requested . More experienced drivers may also run with C group if they have an appropriate road car / lack the safety equipment in what ever car they have. They will be expected to rip on track and set a good example for the beginners or face ridicule .
We are well aware and very proud of the high standard of drifting here in Ireland and know that many semi pro competitors are in fact pro level drivers. These groups are a starting point for all of us and we will work with you guys to make sure your driving with the correct group based on your talent wether you hold a competition license or not. We also want to keep equal numbers in all groups so that everyone gets as much track time as possible and will consider this when assigning drivers to the groups.
Tandem will only be allowed for those who have door bars on roll cage, and obviously who are capable;)
Hope this answers some questions.
We really wanna make this a successful drift community in Ireland for everyone, I understand everyone is probably wondering what it is all about and think it is just another drift day; but we promise to make it a worthwhile experience for all drivers involved:wink:
That cleared up a few things but why don't you put up a list of rules, f.a.o's ect. In the club loose group that was started .
