    the rounds are held at different venues to find the most skilled drivers who can adapt to different track layouts speeds and conditions

    £50 is the standard charge for drifting in ni @ any track. the charge at eglington
    is less because the difference is made up by the larger amount of spectators which
    be at eglington which can run on a sunday the £50 charge is more than fair and pales in
    comparrison to the 130 euro it costs to enter similiar events in the south of ireland
    we are lucky to have 3 event organisers in ni who are drifters and not just in it for the money

    Can't get over how its so cheap up north, surely it must be insurance or something driving it up down here?

    by no means was i complaining just curious just, i have to agree with some of the comments with the prices down south, 125-130 euro for a days crack before you even turn a key of spin a wheel, put it this way if the venues up north started charging that much it would put alot of drifter off the track, i know it def would put me off

    In motorsport terms 130 euro is very very cheap still. When i use to do Autocross a number of years ago 1 practice run & 3 timed runs over 2 laps lasting about 2 minutes - cost 100euro

    8 minutes driving for 100 euro. Compare that to your practice day at Mondello and you'll see Mondello is very cheap in comparison.

    Stage rallying also very expensive - single stage events cost around 200 sterling not to mention a national special stage rally costing 500 euro for the day.

    Really you guys should count yourself lucky!

    Same as that Jonny , if we had to pay them prices i wouldnt be able to afford to drift .

    I think its a shame that its so expensive for the lads down the country even though they get ALOT more spectators than we do up here and without the drivers they would be nothing to watch !

    Their has to be lots of people mad to get into drifting but cant afford to get into even grass roots drifting

    Anyway looking forward to this event ! Roll on
