Hey guys, the name's Mike Fitz and im a drifter from Co. Cork, Ireland. Drifting. I just love the sport, from the driving to the craic around the pits to the piss taking to the comaradery, the nites out, the characters around it, the hangovers trying to drive the car in the mornings, the huge highs and lows, the nerves before your first twin battle of the day, the cool pics and vids, the friends you make outta it, everything really! 2010 was my fourth year drifting. In the first year I was just learning the ropes, in the second year I upped the game with a bit of engine tuning towards the end of the season, in 2009 the third year we tuned the chassis at Damien Mulvey's, got a few sponsors on board, sprayed the car yellow and I won Non Seeded Pro Prodrift Championship. In 2010 I became a Bridgestone sponsored driver and finished 7th in the Prodrift Seeded Pro Championship in my rookie year. I'm lucky enough to have the best team you could ever hope for, and the year that was 2010 has been nothing short of a dream come through for me. Im an instructor at the Prodrift Academy where we teach people how to drift, I love the look on people's faces after they perform their first proper drift, they're as surprised as happy! I also write for Modified Motors magazine, so cars and motorsport are a massive part of my life. Im a big fan of Valentino Rossi's, hence the helmet and my number 46. I also love music and do a bit of DJing in my spare time, my favourite types would be the various genres of house, rock and classic rock. I love Irish music too and anything you can sing or dance to!

Mike Fitz: A smashing time in Fermoy!

Sorry for the delay guys, so much has been going on since we made our way home from being checked out at the hospital after the last round of 2010 of the Prodrift Series that I’ve struggled to find the time to sit down and let my mind rest enough to actually write anything. But the dust’s after settling now so lets go! (more…)


Prodrift Mondello Mike Fitz

Yo! And welcome to a behind the scenes look at Prodrift Round 4 in Mondello. A long story short it was a hard but awesome weekend. At one stage Saturday I thought it was a case of park the car and concentrate on the Monster party in Naas that night after a hard impact with the edge of the track. What actually happened was a total change around Sunday, with the car feeling awesome and (more…)


New blogger on board!

My name is Mike Fitz, and I love drifting! From the driving to the cars to the mad people around it to the adrenaline, I think it’s the coolest sport in the world. Through my blog I hope to give you an insight into the inner workings of the Irish drift scene and the Prodrift championship, as well of course of our own progress and what we get up to at events as Team Bridgestone.
