Dean Kearney returning “Home” will compete in the Irish Drifting Championship in 2014, piloting MG Crash repairs Nissan S15
In 2012, MG Crash Repairs successfully won the final Prodrift championship. MG Crash Repairs will return to a full season of competition in the Irish Drifting Championship, Bringing in 2009 ProDrift Super Series champion and Dean Kearney to pilot their Nissan S15.
MG Crash Repairs competed in select drifting events in 2013 in Ireland and the UK with Team owner/operator Mark Gaffney behind the wheel of the S15. MG Crash Repairs took the top two spots at the final ProDrift event ever back in 2012 when Brendan Stone clinched his championship in an S15 while Dai Yoshihara drove a Toyota Altezza to a second place finish. With the new season just days away MG Crash repairs have announced it will be back to fight for a championship with Dean “Karnage” Kearney behind the wheel of the 550hp RB26-powered car and the help of some great partners coming on board, including Chambers Performance, Mechanic mobile.net and City Auto Components.
“I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to compete in my native country again” said Dean Kearney. “Ive been pretty much out of the Irish drift scene for 4 years now with FD commitments but I’ve always followed the scene very closely and attended several events while home as a spectators. The Irish drivers have proven themselves to be some of the strongest drivers in Europe time and time again, So having the opportunity to come back and compete in a proper competition car was always important for me. I’ve always admired the prep of MG Crash Repairs S15’s so when the opportunity came about it was pretty much a no-brainer. I started my career in a RHD S-chassis car, so it will be good to get back to my roots after competing so long in the Oracle Lighting Dodge Viper in the US. We will be testing before this weekend gets underway so I can get re-accustom to sitting on the other side of the car again. All in all Im looking forward to this weekend and hope I can do Mark and the Team proud.”
