Are mondello drift days finished???

Just had a look on there site and it said there are currently not holding any drift practice days??

Am going to be getting myself another drift car in a few weeks and want to get back into drifting... But not to sure about it if mondello arnt doing them any more 😔 It's been like 2 or 3 years since I had a drift car... Is there any new good tracks being?? And is there many people still doing it?? This site was always mad busy when I was doing it but by the looks of it it seems pretty dead? Don't really want to be going out and spending 8-10k on a drift car if nobody's doing it anymore?

autoheroes run there drift days now .. see facebook or their web site .
igr do days in tynagh in galway
and udc do days in cork in watergrasshill
good bit to choose from

as said auto heroes its run by dave egan and the lads from idc. just seen today that they be announcing the next date later this week i think. they run one every month which is nice and always on a weekend (so far aways)

Ok thanks for that lads il go and have a look at them tracks now 👍

Is there still many people doing it now tho?
Has mondello stopped completely??

Shit sorry lads I just looked up autoheros and actually run mondello drift days... My bad I thought they have there own track somewhere or something... Well that's good mondello is still on... But I just seein it says only pro's are aloud take out passengers out?? That's bull shit! That's what was the best part of the day... You and a mate going up to mondello and drifting for the day.... Are they strict on that rule???

Id like to know this as well, can amateurs bring passengers or is it a big no no?

paul a lots changed in 3 years, mondello dont allow passengers now without a full idc spec cage, the wall run has been done away with now. As said dave now runs auto heros and they are a brilliant day with 2 diferent layouts and lots of track time. i havent ventured to cork or galway yet myself

The cork days are good, you'd get plenty of track time id say! I have only spectated however!
The standard wouldn't be what you'd see in the IDC of course!

Are you still going to mondello mate?

So if they give the cage in my car the "0k" i would be aloud bring passengers?? I looking at a big spec s14 in the UK that has been in a few comps so I'm sure that cage should be up to the standard?

Autoheroes is at home in mondello.. Very very well ran & only caged pro-cars have passengers alright but its a different focus of a day to what tynagh would be.. They run two different layouts which is basically an entirely different track so I completely see why no passengers in non caged cars

Well worth doing, oh and theres only one ballsack of a tyre Bale which is a big change to the shit that was going on before & is going on in tynagh

was just taking to someone from autoheros and was told pro class is just the spec of the car...
I thought it was just people that are entering competitions ��

So happy days il be able too bring passengers

I'm starting to look forward to this now ����

My old car was a practically standard 180sx

The car I'm looking to get is a 420 bhp rb25 s14
Would this be much harder to look after? (Engine wise)

This was my last time on track
Can't wait now ��

A modified or tuned engine is always going to be more temperamental imo. Standard is great for just sitting in and driving. also best for learning to be honest. Although judging by that video you'll have no problems handling the car even with the extra power.

I've drifted a good few tracks. Be willing to travel. Watergrasshill (Cork) is awesome and Tynagh (Galway) is probably my favourite track in the country.

Yeah it's a hard decision because I want to get something with big power but I'm not sure if it will be a lot more work if I do... Just had a look at them tracks on YouTube and they look pretty good 👍

i agree with larz, tynagh is my favourite too. not as fast as mondello but so much fun as a driver. parked in the center watching drifting all day kinda feels like those badass drifty vids the aussies make, close to the action. it is more suitable for a beginner though.

the autoheroes is on easter Monday and will be the last one until season close again.

Retro stock is on the 28th of may in mondello.

any one know what other events are on? where do I find info on tynagh? how often is it on? and how often is watergrasshill on?
