    The Moone-Timolin bypass, old N9, is covered in the mysterious black circles again, happens every few months.
    The link road to the M9 at Balitore also got a seeing too, probably the same night.
    I wonder if they have spotters or do they just take the risk, expensive waste of good rubber if you ask me.

    Is there a local spot near you where the same thing goes on or do I live in the donut capital of Ireland ?.

    Can think of several points along the N15 around Donegal Town and its By Passes as far as Ballyshannon/Bundoran.

    I got a laugh out of the ring on the road right in front of the speed camera on the M1(S) around Donore...

    One morning I came across a guard surveying one at a local T junction on a narrow road. There was a perfect entry, one circle and a clean exit on the T. The guard says " I don't know who it is.....but he's good :D

    I have seen them on the M6 near Galway so the "drifters" do it on motorways too!!

    Yeah OP I saw those, it often happens on a crossroads about 500yards from where they did them on the link road. I heard them doing it one night.

    Apparently the gardai turned up at the most recent donut event on the moone timolin bypass, friend of mine arriving home that night came upon the scene and was stopped by the guards , the guard apologised for delaying him, wanted to be sure he wasn't one them, friend said the guard hand a fistful of drivers licences that they had taken off drivers and told them to Come into the station if they wanted to claim them back

    That's where your wrong.

    You would be very stupid to going out messing or on track with ditchfinders on, hence the reason he would never make a drifter, spending a fortune on tyres only to wear them down.
