Darren "D-MAC" McNamara now Leads the ProDrift European Championship in the Team MCNSPORT.com, Falken Tire - SR86 Corolla.
Darren "D-MAC" McNamara wins ProDrift Europe round 4 in Finland and retakes the no.1 spot in European Championship after missing a round due to dates clashing with a FormulaD event in the States.
The Competition was very tough going into Round 4 of the ProDrift European Championship - seen by all as the Most competitive series on European turf.
Missing Round 3 in Sweden, D-MAC saw himself in 3rd place overall after dominating the Championship up untill that round; Round 4 saw us traveling to Alestaro Race Track in Finland (http://www.alastaro.fi/), the track was a long 3 bend layout; starting off with a long right bend up over a hill, down to a very fast left hander, then stand on the brakes as you transition straight into the final hairpin turn.
Brief panic erupted during the open practice session when the SR86 caught fire! ..it was however just a small oil leak and was quickly put out, fixed and soon had him back out there thanks to the MCNSPORT crew!
D-MAC lined up for qualifying, confidently said "It's just a couple of corners, how hard can it be?" ..not very it would seem, as he qualified 2nd overall!
Straight into Top16 and D-MAC faced a European car, a BMW M-Coupe; which was a very powerful race car - D-MAC confidently took the battle with a 10-0 / 7-3 Win!
Top 8 saw D-MAC face a the highly competitive Dean Kearney from Ireland, it would however be a very short lived match-up as Dean's turbo blew on the warm up run.
Top 4 saw D-MAC compete against car in familiar colors, one of the Falken Finland Nissan 180SX with huge power. - D-MAC quickly eliminated his opposition with a 6-4 / 7-3 Win!
Final time! The Final pairing was D-MAC Vs. Freddy Asbo in his Toyota Supra. Freddy had taken a 2nd place in ProDrift Sweden (Round 3) as well as second the day before in the Nordic Drift Championship, which lead him to the Championship win - Needless to say, this meant that Freddy was on a high and ready for action! - After both drivers getting a 6-4 each it was into "One more time", lining up D-MAC seemed extremely determined win.. and that he did! ..with a decisive 7-3 / 6-4 D-MAC wins the event and once more sits on top of the ProDrift European Championship!
With only one more round left of the European ProDrift Championship and with the Top 3 guys well in contention, it's set to be a very competitive last event! For more information on the the last event, please contact us on the below details!
