    Then what's the story with groups and things? Like I've done a lot of practice days over the last 3 years on a few different track including mondello international, but because I don't hold an idc licence would i have to drive in the "armature" class? And not be allowed to tandem?
    YOU DO NOT NEED an IDC License, the IDC license (if held) is just to use as a guide for making the groups.
    The group class is more so decided upon your experience, safety equipment and car spec (roll cage etc).

    See below >
    A Group -
    For advanced level drivers, must hold or have held an IDC Pro license / competed in the Pro ranks and be comfortable with tandem drifting. Must have all the necessary safety equipment required for drifting at that level ( race suit, gloves, proper roll cage etc ). Tandem and multi car drifting / team drifting is allowed in A group so you should be working on running closer with the other drivers on the fastest line through the course.
    B Group -
    For intermediate level drivers, capable of drifting the course in single runs but need to improve their tandem drifting skills. Must have held an IDC semi pro / rookie license or have some track drifting experience and possess all the necessary safety equipment to compete / drive at that level ( race suit, gloves, proper cage etc ). Single runs and two car tandem drifting allowed in B group so you should be working on running a consistent line, chasing a lead car or drifting under pressure from a chase car .
    C Group -
    For beginners who have minimal or no experience drifting. Minimal safety equipment required, road cars may be used once the mandatory fire extinguisher is present. Single car runs only on a modified track layout to keep the speed down and give the drivers as many laps as possible. The more experienced drivers will be available to assist beginner drivers and give tips and advice if requested . More experienced drivers may also run with C group if they have an appropriate road car / lack the safety equipment in what ever car they have. They will be expected to rip on track and set a good example for the beginners or face ridicule .
    We are well aware and very proud of the high standard of drifting here in Ireland and know that many semi pro competitors are in fact pro level drivers. These groups are a starting point for all of us and we will work with you guys to make sure your driving with the correct group based on your talent wether you hold a competition license or not. We also want to keep equal numbers in all groups so that everyone gets as much track time as possible and will consider this when assigning drivers to the groups.


    Tandem will only be allowed for those who have door bars on roll cage, and obviously who are capable

    Hope this answers some questions.

    We really wanna make this a successful drift community in Ireland for everyone, I understand everyone is probably wondering what it is all about and think it is just another drift day; but we promise to make it a worthwhile experience for all drivers involved
