KD race/DNY racing European drift battle

[import madness]

hey guys!
just wanted to share with you some videos and pictures from an event we had in Portugal,in a city named Lousada.
It's the second time this event happens and as much as first year was a great start,this year everyone gone crazy and the staff was top notch!!
as mentioned in the title,it's an European level race and there was around 50 drivers in 2 classes (13 AM and 35 PRO) from 6 different countries(if i'm correct)
The week end was awesome with a very good spirit in the paddocks and the Portugese public was hot as hell.they encouraged us like nowhere i went before

have to add also that it's a car eater track as some UK guys mentioned and some of us already call it "the european Ebisu" due to all the rails around it...
there's not a lot of place for mistakes and if you make one you're gonna pay almost instantly

a lot of media is incoming but there are already some vids on the web so here they are,enjoy!!(with some crashes)

The hip new motorsports craze sweeping Europe....


WALL BASHING!!

lol
the fact that i posted quite a few videos showing crashs could lead to some misunderstandings,was just ment to show the risky side of this track

this wall was particulary a car magnet for 2 reasons:
1st-the yellow Darkdog flag you see upon the rail WAS the clipping point...
2nd-this first corner was a bit tricky due to closing before the straight as you can see in the picture in this link: http://www.drifted.com/wp-content/up...ada-iang-2.jpg

so yeah quite a few cars left some bits around.....but we enjoyed it a lot!

here are some more videos :
