Hagerty embarked on a thrilling adventure to Ireland's Mandela Park, the largest racetrack in the country, for the LZ world tour organized by drift games. Led by the legendary Dave Egan, the voice of European drifting for nearly a decade, the team got an exclusive sneak peek into the brand new drift Games headquarters and showroom. This place is a car enthusiast's dream come true, my friends.
Upon entering the unassuming warehouse, you'd never guess the automotive wonderland that awaits inside. The team was greeted by a hallway and staircase that gave no hint of the automotive paradise that lay beyond. But once they swung open that door, they were transported from the outside world into a realm of automotive excellence. The interior was adorned with a 7-Eleven-themed area and, of course, an Irish bar, because what's an Irish garage without a proper pint?
What's truly impressive, though, was the team's ingenuity in creating a workspace that seamlessly combines a showroom, office, and studio. In a country where the weather is as unpredictable as a teenager's mood swings, they needed a space where they could shoot top-notch car content. And boy, did they deliver. The showroom was a masterpiece, with its unique lighting and attention to detail.
