It’s less than a week until the iconic Cultra Hill Climb returns on Saturday 4th June, and the Nissan has undergone a full spanner check in preparation for negotiating the tight service road as sideways as possible.

5th Place Start to Season
We returned to Oulton Park and an all new track layout for the first round of the 2011 Pirelli European Drift Championship. Heads turned and compliments flowed on the new livery by Blackwater Graphics – a great success in changing the image for the 2011 season! We ran a new part of the track this [...]
New Look for 2011
With the car and events evolving over the years, I decided that we needed a dramatic new look for 2011 and I turned to local livery experts Blackwater Graphics to come up with something different. My brief was simple – create something eyecatching, but a step away from the traditional Japanese drift car look. [...]
RMS Rally School Ireland Day

Back to School
Last Sunday, Robert and myself headed to Drift/Rally School Ireland. Kindly invited by owner David Smyth, there was no better way to spend a cold autumn morning but sliding about in someone else’s BMW 325i Sport or Mk2 Escort! What a circuit – just built for not only teaching people how to control a rear [...]
Great Day at Nitro Festival
It was great to be back to my drift roots at Nutts Corner. This is where I learnt to drift and there is always that nostalgic feeling when I’m here – I’ll blog about those back in the day stories over the winter. Back to this event! Despite being fraught with issues over the last [...]
Nitro Festival Venue Change
I have just been informed due to a problem with the Boucher road site, the Nitro Festival event that I am drifting at this Sunday has now been moved to the Nutts Corner Motorsport centre. This is just off the Dundrod Road, less than half a mile from the roundabout heading Lisburn direction. View Larger [...]
