but how can you say that when your not allowed to practice on the tracks PD have??
also there is alot of people that pay 75 euro for 3 practice runs and then qualify run.. like in fairness. how are people ment to get better?? and not be pissed off at the same time??

As most of the tracks pd have,arent really tracks!Thats the problem in ireland,noone can get planning to build a track,and any track thats there is barely hanging in with morons complaining and trying to get them closed down.We in Ireland are unlucky as we can only practice in a few tracks and one of the best ones in gone because of some stupid prick.There is no doubt people get better by doing events as you push yourself harder at each one!The prices are crazy but lads,all motorsport is!

yea thats true alrite.. rallying is alot dearer in fairness...
but in my opinion if PD did an amature season aswell as a pro..
then just have them totally different from each other
and they'd get alot more responce.. cause 90% of the amature drifters this year WILL NOT make it through to the sunday.

You could prob do that alright,but they prob wouldnt make as much profit as they would from a full weekend of it.Also they would prob find it hard to rent a place twice and the cost of renting the track alone wouldnt be covered by an amateur event alone.At the end of the day they are there to make money!

you said it in one there lad.. MAKE MONEY....

What i find funny is a lot of accusations in here are being made by non PD competitors!

Competition is a competition, not track time nor practise. Every series is differently run. BDC does not run any advantage to track time over PD this year anyway so far, and also BDC can run a lot more cars on track at any one time compared to tracks we have here.

You have to attain a licence at a licence day to be able to compete in the BDC which is by far a great idea for limiting wasted track time by complete novices etc taking up time when they spin out or crash.

Tbh track time in practise sessions is mainly to blame for ppl crashing etc as it works at some events and not others.

PD as a series for drivers is not overly expensive & yes BDC does cost more on entry. And €200 entry for the Super Series is bullshit whoever came up with that

I love the way Irish people jump on any bit of a band wagon to gossip and bad mouth at any given chance

ah now bart come on, they are hardly going to run it at their own cost, are they?
If i started a drift seris id look to make a few bob for my troubles. ALOT of time and effort goes into running an event and there is now way it could be done on your spear time. there fore time off work(or maybe even giving up your job) has to be taken and at your own cost
