July 13th CANCELLED!

It is with much regret that we have to inform you that once again our day has been pulled.
This is extremely disapointing for everyone involved, as after the last Driftworks day was cancelled we have done everything in our power to make sure that this one went ahead.
Basically as far as I understand it, the Donington site is undergoing some pretty big changes at the moment, which means that they are very sensitive to anything that could potential cause them a problem with future site use. The primary potential problem is as you would probably suspect noise.. We have been assured that at some point in the near future this will be completely resolved, but we appreciate that this doesn't really help those of you that have pre-paid for this event.

At this point Driftworks have invested massive money, and massive amounts of time to run a professional set of practice events through the year, and we have so far been allowed to run one of three events, this is not acceptable. It has caused us a loss of thousands of pounds, and even more importantly has messed you guys about, making us look unprofessional.

At this point, we are not willing to sit here patiently for the next day to be pulled and cause our reputation further damage. So until further notice, every Driftworks event at Drift Central is being pulled from the calander. This does not mean that we will never run an event there again. We certainly hope to, as it would be a real shame to lose such a fantastic venue. But we need guarantee's in place so as to not let you guys down again, as at this point we feeli like we should have gone by the rule of 'if something appears to be to good to be true, it often is'.

Anyone that has paid for the July 13th event or any other date in the calander will be refunded immediately.

We will keep you guys in the loop with the future of Drifting at Drift Central as best as we can. For now please accept our sincere appologies.
