  • How much does it cost to compete as a pro drifter? This year Josh entered the pro class of the Irish Drift Championship in the Nascar engined Nissan Silvia S13 we picked up earlier this year. When you add the fuel, tyres, damage and entries, is it affordable to compete at the top level? We would love to hear your thoughts on this and do you think it's good value to compete at this level?

    Hold up! Are we really going to hide the best competitive driving Josh has ever done and the most laps he's successfully completed in a competition as being a maths video? That shot of you just skimming the wall was epic.

      He has defo improved a lot hasn't he, I'm afraid to say because he loved the car but that the we mx5 with the sr setup was holding josh back an lot!

    I’d imagine factoring in a 4x4 or van plus a car transporter,a pro spec car a workshop to enable work on said car and your easily up the guts of €100,000…..the €2000 a weekend event costs on top of that without sponsorship and a top notch day job you’re in bother😄
    You only live once though so you may as well enjoy what you love👌🏻😉

    Well done josh, try learn to use just the clutch instead of the handbrake then you would of had the 2nd battle.. the speed use are going it only takes a 1/2secs with the clutch in to back off a enough to miss without actaully slowing down with the handbrake.. get yourself a owl banger for doing we drift days like oval days etc you will master door to door an the timing.. dave will be able to tell you what nutts corner is like we all go door to door with 5/6 cars in a row but there is also a lot of wreckers 😂😂😂
