Banger drifting

[Chuck_g]

"Banger" drifting already exists over here lads and its serious fun!! Its more or less tramp drifting but with no care at all!! I did it in Donegal on rally weekend and do it every year! Had a granda this year and not only did i have loads of fun but learned how to get the rear clipping points as i didnt give a shit if i hit the barrier!!!

Its Fun Fun Fun>>>>>>>>>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13KRPZO_qT4

First off i was at this event and had tears from laughing so much, would gladly give up another sat nite to go to another one, even got a few laps in an old E30, Rosegreen needs this!

idrifters think alot more of there cars and do the total opposite to those guys

"Those guys" were 80% BDC pro drivers!! All letting the hair down in shit boxes they didnt give a crap about for the night.

is it just the same as driftin dar in that theres two cars out at a time or is it like banger racing where theres about 15 and sliding is just encouraged? basically so you win by being the first across the line or by how good you slide?

Its a proper run Drift event, well in the sense that the scoring is the very same as if it were a proper event, with a proper judge etc. There was 5hours of open track time with 6-8cars on track at once for times sessions (5mins i think) and then 16were pulled together for battles.

Check some pics here, camera died so missed loads but u get the jist of the fun

Does anyone think this type of thing could be a hit if someone ran an event down the country?

[EvojeepGal]

Dunno, you'd need a track that'd be seriously open to the idea. Essex has an old tanker that they fill with water to wet down the track cause its all under powered rwd's, was very rough friendly and willing to help.

Would defo be a good idea here but may get ppl wit hgood cars attending which wouldn't go down well among drivers if it got hit by a shitter, it'd have to be strictly for cars under €300 ish for the sake of it being a laugh and not turn into a chav fest

Yeah for sure. Maybe food for thought

i dont see how it could be bad for drifting if it was kept away from big tracks.
as dani said keep it low budget and it could work

i think itd be class! great sterting place as you can pick up a banger for peanuts and smash it up without caring, i dont like the way everything recently seems to have gone all proper and everything has to be shiny, it dosent give those of us on a tighter budget a chance to get goin! its nearly a requirement these days to have freshly painted fibreglass all over your car to be aloud out on track! and its called banger drifting, so obviously ppl will recognise its for bangers, like banger racing dosent give normal racing a bad name...... having said that though, it will mean less and less future classics on the road! think how many 'scorts, mantas, capris etc have got smashed up over the years in banger racing!!

Ye as mick said it would be great for people to start with, as every beginer is on a budget!

And it would be savage craic, no doubt everyone would give it ago just to come home laughing after a great day!

And successfull people could then progress to the drift scene from it!
