Sonoma Practice..
Right so out on track, getting warmed up and the Sky unfortunately melted a plugwire, which meant it was way Way down on power!
The crew went straight into action, got it repaired and I was back out there before the top 16 seeded driver practice was over.
Will update you all after the event..!!

Darren "D-MAC" McNamara wins ProDrift Europe Round 4, Finland - OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
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!
Watch out for the Video of the event - COMING SOON!

After Seattle it was straight off the airplane in Ireland and back onto another heading for the official launch of the SD Series (Scandinavian Drift Series - http://www.sdseries.eu/en/drift-at-padborg-park-08/ ) in Denmark.
I had been invited to attend and show my skills along with Peden. I was driving a 600HP ex-D1 Nissan S15 and Peden was driving a brand new 6L Corvette - Some video of this soon!!

FormulaD Great 8 in the Saturn Sky - Seattle
After missing Las Vegas, due to unforeseen issues I was determined to show Seattle how drifting is done on an oval....... IN THE RAIN!!
The Falken Tire Saturn Sky has now had a lot more development time and felt a lot better than previous events!
After qualifying 6th overall it was time for Top16 where.
I faced Tony Angelo in his RX8: Final Score 14-9 = D-MAC goes through!!
I then faced Rhys Millen in the Great 8, in his Solstice - It was so close that we had to RUN EM AGAIN, first two battles ended 9-7 /7-9
On to RUN EM AGAIN and this time we were even faster in the very wet conditions!! By the closest of margins, Rhys went though to overall victory with a final score of: 18-15
It was a great event and now sets the tone for SONOMA, Ca. With this result at Seattle I am now up to 8th overall in the Championship, which is great considering that we are still developing a brand new car and missing one round all together didn't help either!!
Stay tuned peepz!!
