Timeline

1972

Mark "SidewaysBuff" Luney (born Belfast 1972) is a professional drift car racer.

1984

Mark won the Irish championship 5 times between 1984 and 1989. He also won various championships with EABC, UBC and had various successes in England and Europe.

1985

Mark started to race a R/C 2 wheel drive off road buggy with spectacular results, moving on to 4WD cars. Also, due to his success, he received full sponsorship from Schumacher Racing Products, England in 1985.

1989

By 1989 he had reached the age where was finally able to drive the real thing. This led to Mark hanging up his controls for good in 1990.

Mark started to attend road rallies in 1989, entering in a Fiat Uno Turbo. The car had varying degrees of success, but unfortunately it was failing more often than succeeding.

1990

A few local rallies and forest grouts in the early 1990s saw some success, but unfortunately for Mark rallying was getting pretty expensive. This was a terrible blow for him as he was passionate about motor sport, so he looked for another way to continue this passion, which led him to the modified car scene.

1997

The first real track day was in 1997, attending the Ford RS Owners Club meeting at Nutts Corner in his Ford Cosworth Sierra. At these events, drivers would have to go as sideways as possible around the track. The screeching of the tyres would have the crowds going crazy for more.

2004

Eventually, Mark thought the time was right and decided to enter his first competition in 2004. Several years later and he is now one of the most respected drifting competitors in Europe.

2005

In 2005, Mark was placed 2nd in both the D1GB championship and Prodrift Ireland championship.

2006

In 2006, using the much loved Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R built by Mark and WK Developments, he took 3rd place in the D1GB championship. The car has received much praise both for performance and looks, featuring in many magazines.

2007

In 2007, Mark was signed by SVA Imports of Dover to drive their modified Nissan 350z drift car. In the European Drift Championship he was the seasons runner up, finishing behind Brett Castle.

2008

In 2008, Mark once again drove the Nissan 350z for SVA in the European Drift Championship, and finished fourth overall. He also signed a deal with SATS to drive their Toyota Supra at local events and numerous drift displays.

2009

After years of hard work, and development, Mark and the SVA Imports team narrowly took the European Drift Championship in 2009. This was made all the more special by the fact that Mark had literally just arrived at the event after travelling for 12 hours from Dubai.

2010

In 2010, Mark once again took the European title, and also came forth in the British Drift Championship in the SATS Motorsport Supra. He was on course to win the championship, but a catastrophic engine failure at the final round put an end to his chances.

Mark decided to give up his drive with SVA Imports in 2010 to concentrate on the development of the SATS Motorsport Supra, which had signed a deal with many big sponsors, including Cosworth.

2011

2011 saw Mark solely drive for the new SATS Cosworth Drift Team, which in his first competitive outing was the highest qualifier, and also saw him win the round at the British Drift Championship. He finished the championship as runner up.

2012

Between 2012 and 2015, the SATS team was rebranded as the Lucas Oil UK Drift Team, with Luney again at the helm of the Supra. During this time, he secured several podium spots and took 3rd place overall in 2015. He competed in several championships during this time, including the British Drift Championship, Irish Drift Championship and Drift Allstars.

2015

In October 2015, Mark took the decision to retire from competition.
