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

first time going in a few years.the drifting was good quality of the drift cars was impressive some work gone into them.the show cars were shocking there was only 1 or 2 cars worthy of being there

**Mongey** · 09-09-12, 22:23

The level of drifting was top class and the time attack was very good aswell,a lot of the show cars were a disgrace,as someone else said there was a lot better cars in the carpark! Did anyone else actually see that shite box corolla with the shopping trolley on the roof? What the fuck like.
