Donegal Rally, Micras & Driftmasters | Redline Republic Podcast Ep.22

Donegal Rally, Micras & Driftmasters | Redline Republic Podcast Ep.22

This week on the Redline Republic Podcast we're back after a packed weekend of motorsport, road trips and questionable decisions. We kick things off with a recap of the Donegal Rally weekend before moving on to one of the biggest Driftmasters events we've seen in a long time. We discuss Connor Falvey's incredible run, Dave Egan's breakthrough performance, and why Mondello was absolutely buzzing from start to finish. We also dive into K11 Micras, Starlets, MX-5s, modern performance cars, hybrid technology, why so many new cars seem to be losing their identity, and whether manufacturers have completely forgotten how to design a good-looking car. As always, we work our way through your comments, answer your questions, and somehow end up discussing insurance, conspiracy theories, and the future of the Irish car scene. Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast. #redlinerepublicpodcast #DonegalRally #Driftmasters #IrishDrifting #MondelloPark #K11Micra #ToyotaStarlet #MX5 #CarPodcast #IrishCars

Slab Days, Snap-On & The State Of Modern Cars | Redline Republic Podcast #21

In Episode 21 of the Redline Republic Podcast, we get into the state of modern cars and ask the question: what happened to car design? We discuss whether new cars are actually getting uglier, the rise of slab days, the future of the Irish drift scene, and whether there will ever be a true replacement for the Lexus IS200. We also talk about buying your first car, building vs buying modified cars, Snap-On tool debt, CB radios, and plenty more along the way. As always, expect plenty of opinions, questionable takes, and the usual automotive tangents. Let us know your thoughts in the comments: * Are modern cars getting worse? * What car could replace the IS200? * Are slab days worth it? * Would you build your first car or buy one already modified?

The Problem With Show Cars | Redline Republic Podcast EP19

In Episode 19 of the Redline Republic Podcast, Dan and Badger tackle one of the biggest debates in the car scene: would you rather own a spotless show car or a rougher car with real character?

We also talk about the unbelievable moment Drift Games mentioned the podcast, the ongoing Corolla saga, NCT struggles, upcoming events, listener questions and some of the automotive stories that could only happen in Ireland.
