IDC Rd 1 2014 afterthoughts

[Stevo]

Whopper weekend, paul murphy was on it all day!

Only complaints were mondello and their shite fucking speakers!!!

And Chris brady was absolutely robbed for an "Illegal overtake" against mckeever who washed out then bogged when he tried to get out of the clip zone worst call ive seen in IDC since ffrenchie and james!

Top job by Dave and the IDc crew, hard to beat this country when the sun is out at a drift day...

Fucking love this car!!!!

Was only there on Saturday but really enjoyed the day, great to meet some familiar faces and some new ones, Paul's car is looking badass this year...

The pit looks and feels like a tented village now.
The speakers weren't great but standing on the pit side of the bridge i could still hear it.
The driving was just sensational. ridiculous... In a good way...
The commentary was better than formula D's livestream.
Some more signage would help with selling the hoodies and t-shirts (mannequins and price lists).
There must have been about 3-4 thousand people there? I can't believe there weren't 10,000 and I don't think there's much more that can be done to get more people in the gate.

It needs to be noted that there are some people in the drift scene who are the heart and soul of it and the main reason that it is thriving. Mentioning names wouldn't be fair as you'd definitely forget some major contributors. Lending each other cars after a bad accident to help them 'get back on the horse'. Lending people cars to go and compete and win. Helping your competitors during a 5-minute rule. Going the extra mile to put on a show for the crowd, be it doing a sensational victory lap or presenting your car well.

We were only there on Sunday but it was good and I loved the "freshness" of all the new looks on the cars
Am I the only one who thinks Mike Fitz should have won the Superlap? Found he was very good (technique-wise)



Anyway, can't complain really, only pity was that the speakers were not working everywhere.

Im sorry but he wasn't 'robbed' atall! Duanes car didn't bog he got the clip and took it like everyone else took it! Chris passed at the entrance of the corner and that wasn't the line to be taken all weekend! If chris held back and just stayed behind duane he would've had a fighting chance but should'a, would'a, could'a DIDN'T!
END OF

Weekend was savage! Everyone was welcome'd by everyone and the standard of the cars and driving is on such a big level! And thank god for mother nature because the weather was epic all day!

[Bommel]

Absolutly a cracker of a weekend . . Weather always makes hope it can hold the that level for all rounds

Also some serious cars on display. A lot of money and time spent on most of the cars on show. Only 1 PS13 on show though. I must try get a second there for Japfest

There was 2 there, one from Galway and the second from Mayo.. both white.
Epic day, epic drifting, grand stand was some place to be.. MC was really good aswel.. John McCarthy's skills were unreal, some smoke and angles, backwards entry was unreal.
Only thing I will say is modified live was like a car park meet.. no real stucture to it at all..

[hoopsbhoy]

I have been at a hell of a lot of drift events, here and across Europe and I reckon Sunday was the best day out of them all. Sun and drifting in Ireland just = awesomeness.

On the whole Duane thing, I wouldn't have had a good line of sight but listening to the Judges who said they re-watched a video to confirm, seemed to clear it all up to be honest. That shouldn't be talked about anyway.

How about wez keating, throwing the car around just for the fans. legend and fair play to all involved.

Great weekend, excellent standard of cars this year.
Commentary was better than previous years pity about the speakers! Some of the best door to door action iv seen in a while.
