Andy takes on Paul Cheshire in top 16
Round 2 of the European Drift Championship saw Northern Irish competitor Andy Cooper take 8th place at Knockhill Race Circuit in Scotland.
Despite being the first time on this part of the course, and turbo issues throughout the day he still managed to step up to the challenge of daunting 90+mph handbrake entries into the first corner.
“The track was wet during the practice on the Saturday so I was broken in gently with slightly slower entry speeds. The sun came out on Sunday and totally changed the pace. I found myself going flat out from the start line and not lifting at all for the first corner – it was just awesome. My top 8 run was definitely my hardest of the day with James Russell in his R32 Skyline. I came into the final corner too hard, ended up in the gravel trap and it was all over for me then!”
This was a great event for the rest of the local lads, with 6 NI competitors in the top 16 which shows the tremendous levels of talent in the province.
