The drifter is sporting EBC components on his E46 BMW
21-year-old Irish pro drifter, Harry Kerr, has had an incredibly successful year in the Pro category of the Irish Drift Championship.
For the 2024 season, Kerr opted to install EBC Brakes’ Bluestuff brake pads and GD discs to both axles of his newly-built, 600bhp E46 BMW drift car, which has helped propel him to second overall place in the standings so far.
You can read a summary of his campaign as it stands in his own words below…
“This year was my first year back in Irish professional drifting since 2019 and with a brand-new built E46 BMW running a 600bhp 2JZ, we had mixed expectations heading into the season.
“Round 1 saw us ending up in 4th place after a drivetrain failure in the semi-finals, which made us realise we had potential to fight for a good championship finish. At round 2, we managed to win the event; it was a first for me to stand on the top of a pro podium as it’s something I’ve dreamed of since I started watching drifting as a child.
“Fast-forward to round 4, we had another drivetrain failure in the semi-final, which leaves us going into the last round second in the championship and we will be pushing more than ever for that top spot at the final round.
“This year has been a massive learning curve for me and the team working with a completely new car with setups we’ve never worked with before and a grid of insanely talented drivers at IDC, we are more than happy to even be in with a chance of a podium place finish in the championship in the first year back.
“Of course, none of this would even be remotely possible without the help of all my partners, especially the guys at EBC Brakes who came on board this year and their products have truly transformed the braking performance of the car. Not only the products but they are a dream to work with, dealing with them couldn’t have been any more of an easy and stress free experience!
“Can’t thank EBC Brakes enough for coming on board and helping us out – hopefully this is the first of many successful years working with them.”
