4 years back I was a sponsored 'B Team' driver for "mirage racing" which since then appears to have been renamed, competed in both indoor and outdoor national events under the BRCA all over the country!! I miss these things, the last car i owned was a Xray T2'008.. memories!

Rc drifting was the only thing I was good at,
2007 d1rc champion
2008 pro class 3rd in the year
2009 gave up half way through the year due to loosing my job at a model shop
I ran my own team, the NDT which slowly disbanded due to every bugger having kids
But 90% of us still have cars but never get to use them

My past car

Aren't you lot adults? 

You realise you're allowed to do this sort of thing with real cars now?

You know, where you get to sit in the car that's doing the drifting, rather than twiddling with sticks?

Haha yeah but I want to drive a golf and unless I made it 4WD I can't drift it!
Plus, a set of drift wheels and tyres for an rc car is £10 haha not £70!  :laugh:
