It is cheaper to enter a PD event than any of the UK events and when you look at EDC who don't even run a qualifying session anymore (names out of a hat system), PD is the premier drift series in Europe, bar none. BDC would probably be second even though they bill themselves as a sort of semi-pro series, the atmosphere and balls out driving is what the UK drift scene needed about five years ago.

2009 has been and is still tough for everyone, but I say fair play to all the competitors who still show up and support Irish drifting by driving the balls of their cars at every event and improving after every run. Graham is probably the most under-thanked person in Irish & UK drifting, he created from nothing one of the most recognised drift series on the planet and brought Irish drifting to the fore of the world scene. Unless you've worked behind the scenes, I don't think many people can appreciate how much work goes into each event, let alone an entire season ...

Prodrift is here to stay.
Well said lad. This year has been tough on everyone,like most of the drivers are trades men or have something to do with that line of work.And all them jobs are being wiped out on a daily basis.....I know my job isnt secure i can only take one day at a time!And on that basis its hard for drivers,crowds etc to fund doing and attending these events.Hopefully we will have another few years of prodrift and d-rift.And our irish drivers abroad hopefully doing better And the lucky few who will defo get a break to go there too eventually!
