Global Warfare 3 - Irish Drift Championship v Drift AllStars

turnfive · 29 Jul 2016

The Irish are unbeaten in drift competition at home in 12 years, despite inviting the world's top drifters to end that record (such as Aasbo, Saito, Wang, Yoshihara, Fink, Forsberg, Tuerck, Nishida etc....and many more over the years). This was the first time however that an entire championship came to attempt to end the unbeaten streak!

Genuinely awesome event.....and the unbeaten record remains intact thanks to Jack Shanahan and James Deane. Hope you like this small handful of pictures....

Cheers David, really enjoyed it.....massively exciting event - atmosphere more akin to a football match than a motorsport event.

Excellent work Brian, I love the processing as well as the compositions and technique used. A form of motorsport that is perfect for action photography.
