ABOUT THE EVENT

Some of Ireland’s best drifters will be putting their skills to the test at the event.

Limerick Greyhound Stadium will play host to a festival of adrenaline-fuelled action, with drift stars from across the Irish and European circuit set to battle it out.

Red Bull Drift Pursuit promises to exhilarate both seasoned drift fans and newcomers alike.

This is no ordinary drift event - it will test the accuracy, control and speed of each and every driver on the circuit, pushing them to their absolute max.

The first day of action features a series of gruelling head-to-head qualifiers, as drivers tackle the treacherous course - with zero margin for error.

Drivers are judged on three key criteria; course time, clipping points, and penalties for any infringements.

Day Two then takes on a knockout format as drivers tear through the gearbox-shredding course.

Those who impress the judges and score the most points progress, until only one driver is left - the first ever champion of Red Bull Drift Pursuit.

An unforgettable weekend of drifting action awaits, with tickets available now on www.redbull.ie/driftpursuit.
