This Saturday and Sunday (August 1st & 2nd) sees the return of Prodrift to the fastest venue on their schedule for round four of the 2009 Irish Drifting Championship at Mondello Park.

A full weekend of drift action is planned culminating in the top sixteen run-off’s for the Pro drifters on Sunday afternoon. Sunday’s programme will also feature a non-championship Time-Attack challenge as well as Trade Stands, Prize giveaways and passenger rides.

The drifting action gets underway on Saturday with practice and qualifying for the Amateur drivers who will battle it out to join the Pro Drifters on Sunday’s programme. The non seeded Pro’s will also have a battle on their hands to make it through their top sixteen run off, and into Sunday’s main event, where they will join the top seeded-drivers from the Saturday evening’s qualifying session.

Sunday will see the best of the Amateurs from Saturday battle it out in the Amateur Competition before the Pro’s take to the track for the main event. Following morning practice the top sixteen drifters will be judged on a solo ‘Superlap’ run to decide the running order for the twin battle finals which are scheduled to start at 15:30.

Before the Drifting main event the final of the Time-Attack challenge will take place. This non-championship event will bring together the best of Irelands’ Time-Attack drivers and a selection of race cars from a number of Irish championships, in a Time-Attack style battle for supremacy. This will be the first time in Ireland that the Time-Attack cars and Race Cars have gone head to head and the result could make for very interesting reading.

The competitive action gets underway on Saturday at 11:50 with amateur qualifying while Sunday’s event kicks off at 9:30 with Time-Attack practice.
