“D-MAC” Victories again!!

“Darren “D-MAC” McNamara continues Dominating European Drifting”

Round two of the European Championship, held at the high impact track of “Teeside” in Northern England. With a fresh engine and sporting Falken “Azensis RT-615” Tires, the infamous MCNSPORT.com SR86 was ready for action!

The first evening of official practice was spent on the back track simply clocking up miles onto the new engine; with a short practice session shortly before qualification it was time to perform! During the practice session (of which D-MAC had only 3 runs, Ever) he noticed the new engine over-boosting, this meant that extreme caution was needed – Needless to say, not easy whilst drifting!

There were however a few elements on his side; the KW suspension saw the car glide effortlessly throughout the fast corners of the main track at Teeside.

After qualifying comfortably, D-Mac’s Drift Battle opponents were:

Top16: Dan Chapman:

One of the UK’s most promising new talents.

Top 8: Eric O’Sullivan:

Last years ProDrift IRL Champion and winner of JDM-AllStars, held at same venue 2 months previous.

Top 4: Phil Morrisson:

Rated by many as the UK’s number driver.

Final: James Deane:

Irelands bright new 16 year old hope, coming off a victory, 2 weeks previous in the ProDrift IRL series.

D-Mac now has an Overwhelming lead after just 2 events, however the next round (ProDrift Round 3, Sturup Raceway; Sweden) will see his competition get one up on him as it is conflicting with Round 3 of the US FormulaD series (Held in New Jersey, USA)

In his victory speech Darren extended his thanks to all his supporters; MCNSPORT.com – Falken Tires – JapaneseUsedCars.com – KW Suspension – Gumball3000 & Drift2Motorsport.

General Manager at MCNSPORT, Peter Nielsen said:

"After taking a year out of European drifting to concentrate on driving for Falken Tire Corporation, in the FormulaD Championship in America. Two rounds in, Darren has already come head to head with nearly all of Europe’a Top runners and rained victorious on all occasions - cementing his place as Europe’s undisputed Number 1 Professional drifter; and sees Darren “D-MAC” McNamara continue Dominating European Drifting."
