    Theres not too many tracks around. Mondello is your best bet really. theres a coupe of practice days on in december i think.

    Tynagh in galway is another option, not sure when the next day there is on though.

    RE: Drift track

    depends on who's organising the day, its around 100/120 euro for an entry.

    theres always a few learners at every drift day, but you're being thrown in at the deep end really as theres generally 15 or so cars on track at any one time.

    The drift academy in mondello is pretty good I hear, it'll teach you the basics, and they have pro drifters like Mike Fitz as instructors. it'd be worth looking into that first if you've never been on a track before.

    The Tynagh drift practice days were run by Barrymotorsport, as far as I know barrymotorsport has gone out on business.

    Learn on a slab/roundabout or somewhere about car control, if your inexperienced and jump straight in you'll have a bad time both physically and mentally
