Well done!!!

You have our full support for the next season. All 6 of us will be competing in all the rounds in 2008 (fingers crossed) Look forward to an awesome 2008

Ian.G · 17-11-2007, 11:25

Well done guys

Next year is gonna be a good one me thinks.

Bladerider · 17-11-2007, 11:58

EDC Drivers will not be competing to a lower level next year.

It is unfair that a driver who has experience at far higher speeds and demands then goes back down a level just to show off, extend their exposure or whatever which then effectively makes a mokery out of the second highest level championship in england. No one was going to beat James this year, no one would get into the top three places if brett and phil decided to join in as well, the whole point is that the drivers who have progressed through the amatuer ranks then have a new challenge to prepare themselves for EDC and it should be a fair fight and one which they have a chance of winning which would then see them with opportunities of EDC licences and so on.

There will be more announcememnts of the structure for next year very soon from the Drift Organisation.

Sorry if this upsets a few people, but it really is for the benefit of the majority. There will be more independent stand alone type events for "all comers" to compete at which I am sure will give EDC, Pro-Am and the rest a chance to mix it up"

Lets not dilute the excellent progress acheived by the Drift UK team and the co-operative things that are now happening with all levels of competition in the UK.

Thank you,

James.

**Mitch** · 17-11-2007, 12:09

So EDC licence holders won't be allowed to compete in BDC at all? I think the problem this season was that there were only 4 events that EDC drivers could attend which is why James did Eurodrift. It's difficult unless there are more events that the higher level drivers can compete at.

Bladerider · 17-11-2007, 12:12

They wont
There was
There will
The end

For now, please, I need to get some more work done !!

I'll start up a new thread about licences, structure and so on, pleae just lets concentrate on what a great piece of news this is for 2008 and how well written the press release is

I think its good in a way Bladey. But also agree maybe EDC should have the same number of rounds as BDC?

**Phil** · 17-11-2007, 12:49

This is a thread about BDC..... EDC will give it's own press release soon. There is loads more very exciting news all around for the Drift scene in the UK. But you'll have to be patient while some final details are confirmed

.

Regarding the British Drift Championship: Driftworks Ltd are proud to support the new and improved Amatuer and Pro/Am Series 'BDC'. We will try to give our support wherever possible, including providing professional level guest judges, sponsorship and prizes

.. We're really excited about 2008 season. It's going to be a busy year people, get that tyre stockpile going

Baba · 17-11-2007, 13:34

BDC for the win!

. We will all be there throughout 2008 showing our support. If it has the stamp of approval fromt Driftworks then we have full faith in it.

And sorry about the off topic post Phil.
