Mayo man to compete in first ever Red Bull Drift Pursuit event

Mayo man, Jonathan Flynn, will compete in the first ever Red Bull Drift Pursuit this month.

The 30-year-old from Ballina and his Nissan S14A will partake in the event in Limerick on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19.

Mr Flynn began drifting six years ago, and has since won the 2022 Irish Drift Championship Pro 2.

Some of Ireland’s best drifters will be putting their skills to the test in Limerick Greyhound Stadium.

The day will see a host of adrenaline-fuelled action, with drift stars from across the Irish and European circuit set to battle it out. 

Red Bull Drift Pursuit promises to exhilarate both seasoned drift fans and newcomers alike. This is no ordinary drift event - it will test the accuracy, control and speed of each and every driver on the circuit, pushing them to their absolute max. 

The first day of action features a series of gruelling head-to-head qualifiers, as drivers tackle the treacherous course - with zero margin for error. Drivers are judged on three key criteria; course time, clipping points, and penalties for any infringements. 

Day Two then takes on a knockout format as drivers tear through the gearbox-shredding course. Those who impress the judges and score the most points progress, until only one driver is left - the first ever champion of Red Bull Drift Pursuit. 

Tickets are available now on Red Bull’s website.
