#Gods of drifting level 24 driver#

After nearly every major drift event, there’s almost guaranteed to be an online argument over a judging decision or a driver doing something that goes against the spirit of the sport. People within the drifting community spend more time arguing about the varying approaches to the sport than they do celebrating the good and encouraging others to come and join them. I think drifting in many regards is its own worst enemy. There are a lot of people putting their everything into drifting and not getting anything even close to the return they deserve on their investment, both on a personal and financial level. To condense it down, I essentially believed (well, at least at the time I did) that pro-level drifting was being held back by a sort of guilty conscience which was tied to the grassroots scene. Some of you may have read my article last year for Drifted where I talked about my frustrations with drifting and why I had to walk away from it to really see the bigger picture. Drifting has played a huge part in my career and allowed me to learn the ropes before turning a passion into a living. I can safely say if it wasn’t for drifting, and the Irish drift community in particular, I wouldn’t be here writing this story today. Why did he say this? Does he mean it? More importantly, is he right?īefore we get into the thick of it though, I want to give you a little bit of my own background with drifting and where I currently stand with it. Rather, what might surprise you is that these are the words of the Irish Drift Championship’s organiser, Dave Egan. As much as I love to stir things up a bit, these aren’t my words. I’m sure some of you will be nodding in agreement at my chosen title for this story, whilst others are already rushing to the comments section to defend drifting.
