Prodrift Ireland , New Venues for 09.
Added 2/2 – The original schedule was announced on Jan 29th, but we’ve brought this post back with a new colorful flier!
The original 1/29 press release is as follows:
Today it has been announced that the Prodrift Ireland Series will incorporate 2 new venues for the 2009 Irish national drifting championship.
Across a 5 round Championship, Prodrift have scheduled a 2009 series that will place top level drifting competitions in 5 separate venues throughout Ireland.
Beginning in Ennis Town, Co.Clare, the Prodrift Series will travel to 3 custom venues during the year whilst also placing events in Ireland’s 2 main motorsport centres, Mondello Park & Nutts Corner Racing Circuit.
The return of Punchestown, Co.Kildare as the venue for Round 2 will immediately appeal to the thousands of drift fans that enjoyed the same event in 2006 and similarly, the 2009 Punchestown event will also include a points scoring round for the new Prodrift Super Series, guaranteeing a strong entry of overseas drivers.
The trip to Nutts Corner for Round 3 of the Irish Series marks the continued growth of the Prodrift brand in Ulster. Following a strong showing from local drivers in 2008, this year’s event will move from the Nutts Corner Oval to the recently re-opened Nutts Corner Circuit and set new challenges for the Prodrift teams.
The penultimate event of the season takes place at the home of Irish Motorsport, Mondello Park, where drivers and spectators can expect the regular instalment of high speed door to door battles. For the final battle of the year, Prodrift will cap off the season at another brand new venue, Cork Marts, Fermoy. This new venue houses an expansive site of asphalt surrounded by an amphitheatre bank that will deliver a unique atmosphere for the final event of the season.
