In ireland theres quite a few fords, 3drs and Saffs, that enter the drifting comps. Never fight for top honours, but do it anyhow, as its all good fun.

Theres been a few Fords over the years enter comps in the UK too, usually for just one round, do bad, and bugger off, here some pics...

The 5.2 V8 3dr coming a fantastic last place at Silverstone this year...






Julian Smiths little brother came over from Ireland now n again and actually won the drifting at the first ever GT Battle in his 24V P100 shitbox.
Not bad for a 17yr old






Heres he is competing in the old Autoglym championchip too.






Heres some other Sierras that have entered in the past...






Ill be interested to find out who was driving the blue one above, as its got DriftMoto graphics on it, so mightve been Stiggy or Nev, who are both still around now and are good drifters (Stig competed this yr in the Autoglym Skyline and will next year in his awesome Pinto powered Starlet).
The XR4i is my mate James at pretty much the 1st ever drift competition in the UK about 2001. He still around too, with a XE powered AE86.
Got a pic of that 4i written off somewhere on my old PC.

Theres been others over the years, always Saffs that i remember, none of them ever doing well mind, its harder than people think, so its usually a case of enter full of confidence as you can hang it at your local cruise, get caned, give up.

Hell, even scoobies have entered in the past
