Events; 26 Apr Drift Outtakes

Happy Labors Day!

While you are all enjoying the long weekend off, here are the outtakes from last weekend’s drift event. Outtakes are there mainly because the image might not be as great as we might think, so they are dumped into a folder to be kept for posterity. We know that some of the cars were not featured, reason being it was getting to dangerous out there when up to 10 cars were on the track at any single time. Sure, camping out on the corner apex isn’t safe in the first place, but when up to 10 cars come heading your way, its hard to react when you’re shooting and getting ready to run at the same time.

On the other hand, we’ll be heading to the first night GRA event tomorrow see ya there!

Events; SODA & Drift by Feinto-D 26 Apr 2009

We can’t say how much we love drift, the sideways action can rarely be seen in other forms of motorsport today, and like what Keiichi Tsuchiya has said, its the most exciting way around the corner. Learning to control the fine line between gripping and losing it all is tough though, and that’s where Sync Optima’s Drift Academy (or a cooler-sounding SODA) comes in. Manned by the married couple of Malaysian drift, Ariff and Jane, participants learn how to control their cars while applying driving techniques not taught in your average driving school.

Events; Program Stunters Sukan Bermotor Peringkat Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur 2009 – Part 2

Burn Lancer having a great time tsuiso-ing with Jai in the Bluebird.

The second part of our coverage on last week’s event; yes I know, my car and me are slow XD. This time around, the practice runs are much more serious; after the display of tsuiso by the two experienced drifters, everyone wanted to do a group tsuiso in every run!! LOL. Things got so serious till one of the Cefiro A31 drivers even blew a tire as he hammered down the throttle to recover from understeer. More shots below!

Organized by DBKL as an effort to promote safety and provide a legal event for people with creative control over their machines, the event lasted for over two days, attracting a eclectic crowd of novices and professional drifters alike. Here’s what happened on Sunday….

Drifting; Vaughn Gittin Jr’s World Record Attempt

We didn’t know it could be done, but drifting in a HUGE donut at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the upcoming 2010 Ford Mustang on Falken ST115 tires as well as Vaughn Gittin Jr. equals an unofficial drift world record for the longest continuous drift at 6285 feet, beating the current record, standing at over 4000 feet into submission. Using hard tires, proper tire pressure and a car that’s powerful, but not too powerful, i guess we Malaysians can attempt something like this too, no? =D Record target: 2KM!!!
