Ive just spotted this thread, Ive been talking to an MLA for Northern Ireland government and hes keen to ask questions about the possiblity of a government funded project. Hes looking more info on this i.e crowd attendances, costs, companies already involved etc..

As its sort of in his field he is a good contact within the government to deal with.

I was looking to get talking to a member of Prodrift to see if they can assist in any way. Theres no point in me going to him with estimates and having no real point of contact for whats the biggest Drift organisation in ireland.

I was pushing the cross border and cross community aspect thats well known in the sport. If i could get the like of Prodrift Europe to put their pennys worth in, we might be able to get somehwere with this.

If it was well presented we might be able to push for an international quality racetrack, with an eye to attracting sports from other countrys outside Northern Ireland, Touring car for example.

With the current interest that Northern Ireland is getting from America we could also push the angle of getting the likes of Formula Drift involved.

If its done correctly we might have a shot at doing this.
