UK VS IRELAND (VS NETHERLANDS) - UK WINS!!!
Id just like to say a few words, to follow the results and points made in other thread.
It wasn’t just me , it was the commitment of a lot of people that made night fight work, without you guys I would have been lost.
Scotty - thanks for the help past few weeks, It wouldn’t have happened without you.
Mitto and Julian - Top notch level judging (couldn’t pick anyone better technically)
Milo- For there experience and guidance on what to do, on the night!
Maurice – You are without doubt the best guy at this , the J-Rod of Europe, funny as hell, and got the crowd going like ive never seen before in the UK
Kirsty - Thanks for mixing it up an not making it totally and Irish show, with a bit more experience its gonna be interesting !!(was your first time too )
Marshals - Team drive-by/Jap north east, thanks for the help, the support was top notch and hope you too enjoyed the action being at the frontline.
And finally, the drivers. Just like I said in the drivers briefing, put on a show, and you exceeded my expectations, as ever!
It was crazy, and up there with D1, Prodrift and all the other mental events i’ve seen.
Brett and Johnny P, the footage from your battle was mental, it will make you legends. Can’t wait to see the demo videos.
Brett ,hope you spend the £1000 prize money sensibly !!! ha ha
Team Falken
Ice man Cool as ever. Wanders(Dutch smoke machine) the prefect gentlemen , didn’t bother with the second battle(spun in the first) with Brett as he knew he Brett had won fair and square.
And also to the newcomers coming through the ranks, so much talent coming through.
Paul, Japimports, awesome driving in such a standard car, poor Buttsy wont be driving the Bee-r car anymore! Scott, Skylinepart Man where did that driving come from? changed man… must be the new girl!!! Retrodan, The new kid, awesome driving, in a bog standard AE86, was awesome to watch.
Anyway thanks again, I am never happy with my standards and personally I would like to do nothing but double my efforts! Never happy keeping it at the same standard.
And thanks again! For all your kind words of support, I think we have now turned a corner in actually how drifting should be portrayed and shown to the people of the UK.
The UK audience may be hard to work with, but when done right this sport of drifting really captures the publics minds and definitely makes them go crazy!
Probably loads of people I missed but thanks again, roll on 2008…………………
