Great day some of the best drifting to be seen, serious women (mostly n the crowd) some of the judging could be questionable even in the final i thought dai took it from where i was sitting but delighted for brendan great way to finish of for him and well deserved!

Dai understeered comin in first corner so he couldn have won

Great driving all weekend. Congrats to Brendan Stone on taking the championship, put on a great show at every round, great year for the MG team. They could have put more Falken tire decals on the Altezza though.

Some questionable calls with the judging, mainly on Saturday I thought but what's done is done now I guess. Next year is a fresh start, with a "new" series.

The 86X is a very impressive car, absolutely beautiful looking too. Same can be said for the Rocket Bunny vert and drift car, lovely!

As for the show, same Irish crap. The standard of cars on display was terrible. Only a few cars stood out really, main one for me being that blue S15.

i didnt get to see a whole pile of drifting, but from what i did see, some fantastic driving.

Show did contain some cars that were far from show-worthy.

Was good to put some faces to names

first time ive managed to get to an event and glad to say ill be back again, all drivers were fully committed and duane really impresses me, to mix with the big experienced lads, how much better can he get as he gets older? also the dealtwidth cam did great to be under powerd among many others. congrats to brendan well deserved. judging was dodgy at times and the first run in the super lap was scored too high for other drivers to try and beat then.
the 86 is an epic car, and the v8 bmw was something else to hear. talent was serious hard to kno where to look times.:P show was the only dissapointment its not japfest when 60% are euros. brill day rroll on 2013

Just seen on the prodrift fb some lads White ek type r was robbed .cunts ya can have nothin

Was a good day the v8 Beemer made my day worth the 20euro entry to here it

Some of the cars weren't show worthy but from what I heard lots of sites weren't goin to the show so the sites that were there could bring as many cars as they like . Think it should a bean Jap cars only seein as it's called japfest

the show was shit.......but anyway drifting was EPIC the level of driving in this country at every level is just crazy, well done to fucking everyone but as lads have touched on some judging was a joke being honest as i said on fb barry hennessy was ROBBED against o connel now dont get me wrong o connels driving was unreal and im a huge fan of his but he dropped 2 wheels in the dirt but yet was a omt then next run was in my opinion now a omt but o connel got it , im delighted for diarmuid to be back going after punchestown and im not plugging at him what so ever the man could be a pro, but he made a mistake and should have been judged on that, i know the judges can miss something thats understandable but this was pure blatent , also big shout out to dave egan who doesnt get enough credit for the awesome job he does on that mic some man to get atmosphere going, also mantra ROCKED that is all
