Kildare's Mondello Park circuit will play host to the LZ World Tour on July 22 and 23, the popular drifting event making its second stop at the Irish track since breaking attendance records last year.
Other stops on the LZ tour include Englishtown in the USA, Toronto Motor Sport Park and Calder Park in Australia. Twenty thousand fans attended the Irish event last year - a record event planners hope to break next weekend.
The event
Among the driver line-up for this year is YouTube personality Adam LZ, also a professional driver in Formula DRIFT, with more than three million YouTube subscribers as of this year.
"We're stoked to be coming back to Ireland this year for stop two of the LZ World Tour," he said.
"Irish fans absolutely blew us away with their support at last year's event so we knew we had to come back bigger and badder in 2023!"
Also making appearances at the event are professional drifters Chelsea Denofa, Hert, Colette Davis, Chris Rudnik, Luke Fink, Sultan Al Qassami, Rad Dan Burkett, Sammit and Jimmy Oakes, as well as Irish drivers James Deane and Conor and Jack Shanahan.
Spectators will have the chance to see many of the drivers featured go head-to-head for the first time, along with the country's biggest display of over 400 show cars, ranging from supercars to modified motors.
Tickets are available now - those interested are encouraged to buy theirs early, as spectator tickets will be limited per day. Click here to buy tickets.
Mondello Park
Opened in 1968, Mondello Park is Ireland's sole international-level racing circuit after businessman Martin Birrane bought the track in 1987 - his investment led to the opening of the international circuit in 1998.
Since then, the circuit has hosted rounds of the British Superbike Championship from 2003 until 2007; the British GT series from 2004 to 2006; and it was the first venue outside of the UK to host rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, which it did from 2001 to 2006.
Current events held at the track include rallycross, the Formula Vee Festival and the prestigious Leinster Trophy race, past winners of which include F1 champions Ayrton Senna and Mika Hakkinen, F1 race winner and commentator John Watson and Jordan Grand Prix founder Eddie Jordan.
Danish driver Johnny Laursen has held the lap record on the 3.126km international layout since 2006 when he set a time of 1:28.708 behind the wheel of the Benetton B197 F1 car.
The fastest lap time set on the 1.860km national circuit was set last year, with Cian Carey taking a BOSS Ireland open-wheeler around the track in a time of 0:49.275.
