The rain has fallen hard on Ennis, host to the first round of the 2009 Irish Prodrift Series. Saturday now see's the full non-seeded pro event along with the seeded pro practice and qualifying sessions ... James Deane is contesting Round One in the Prodrift Academy Car as his new machine is not quite ready, but has managed to qualify second ... {} Connor Lenihan in the MIJ sponsored S13 Silvia is on flying form ... {} Shane O'Sullivans Elite Autos 180SX is looking awesome again this year ... {} But it was Martin Ffrench who has finally returned to the Irish scene who was to qualify first at his first event back. He was piloting his 2008 S14, now with some minor aesthetic modifications and a standard SR20 whilst he completes his rather spectacular pair of SXE10 Altezza's ... {} {} With runs like this, it's not hard to see why he qualified first ... {} Tomorrow will see the first ever Prodrift Superlap. The Superlap will give the Top 16 drivers one chance to run a perfect solo run. That run is then scored by the Prodrift Judges and used to pair the drivers off for the Top 16 battles. Going by the standard of driving today, tomorrow promises to be spectacular !
damn i'd nearly fly over in the morning to watch this, looks immense. the 14 is looking well, good to see it on track again
