Great driving btw Nigel, will be shouting for ya for the year!
Loving the car too

Thanks for the support Jay!!

Peoples idea of big backing teams are all wrong to be honest.... There is no team in prodrift that has huge backing and there is no driver that just "arrives and drives".......

Just speaking for myself..... everything i do revolves around drifting.....Every single penny i have at the mo is wrapped up in drifting in some way or form..... for 6 months of the year im either drifting or working on my car.....

The General Public dont see what goes on behind the scenes and is by no means glamarous!!

Drifting in Ireland is nowhere near a professional sport and i dont think ever will be but we are all in it because we are passionate about it!!

BTW this is not a dig at what you said jay... im just explaining the reality as a lot of people have refered to "big budget teams" this year!!



As for the wall....... if your worried bout your car in drifting you wont be competitive...... end of..... at the end of the day its a motorsport and motorsport costs money no matter what way u look at it..... granted the wall will cause more expense if you get it wrong but the standard here is too high and drifting needs to be made harder to sort good drivers from bad drivers........
