After FormulaD, Long Beach - USA; The weekend after saw the first round of the Irish and European ProDrift Series dawn on the Mondello International circuit near Dublin, Ireland.
After D-MAC's very successful year in the Falken SR86 Corolla, 2007; It was time for it to return home to once again frighten the local and international competition.
D-MAC went into the weekend on a high, after his successful debut in the Falken/Sears Auto Center Saturn Sky. Finishing 9th overall after an amazing 2nd place during qualifying, D-MAC had impressed Everyone in this as-yet undeveloped torque monster.
The weekend began as late as Friday afternoon as the SR86 Corolla had only just cleared customs that afternoon, as the car arrived at the circuit there was an amazing sense of amazement from the flocking crowds.. and a distinct smell of Fear from the other drivers as "The Beast" had arrived home again. As the car was started for the first time there were several issues from the word go, the car itself was bent as D-MAC had a nasty meet with the notorious Irwindale concrete wall last time out. As well as this the engine was struggling under the pressure from not having stretched its legs for nearly 6months! "at first the turbo wouldn't even spool" said Darren, only after several hours work into the night was she running again.
In true form, D-MAC as if he never left went out and impressed all by taking the runner-up position in the Irish Championship and after qualifying first for the European event, he now leads the European Championship for Falken Tire, MCNSPORT.com
D-MAC as always grateful to all his sponsors say a very personal thanks to all of his sponsors:
