Cyberjaya Drift Challenge 2010

It has been a while since we last saw an update, but we’re back!! Held at the Cyberjaya Community Club and Lake Gardens, the Cyberjaya Drift Challenge 2010 was a fitting ending to the Motorsports day held by the landowners, Cyberview Sdn Bhd. Held from 8pm into the wee hours of the morning, the track was well-suited for short wheelbase cars, and in particular, the AE86 chassis, with its tight turns as well as short transition area, most drifters could only max out at 2th gear before initiating into the first rear clipping point. Of course, the judges weren’t being too lenient; our Prince Of Drift and Loyai themselves were dishing out the scores that night!

Enjoy the gallery after the jump!

Super GT 2009: Saturday Qualifyings

We’re back from the track, and after getting sunburnt and fizzed out (no thanks to the long queue waiting for the Pitwalk), we’re back to report on the situation in Sepang! Arriving on the scene early in the morning, we were greeted by ominious dark clouds over the track and wind speeds of up to 30km/h. Manuevering into one of the last parking bays located near the Yokohama drift area, the track was rather devoid of spectators, as the time and weather was perfect reason for waking up at a later time. Unlike yesterday, the booth areas around the mall were now occupied by exhibitors, with Toyota showing off their TRD Vios which is retailing at nearly RM100k, although it is loaded with TRD goodies and a warranty from the factory. More images will be uploaded later, in a seperate post containing the most-wanted images on the planet right now, the GT Queens! For now, enjoy the gallery and highlights we have setup for you after the jump.

Super GT 2009: Friday’s Relaxing Session

An update from the track for those who were at work and for those who were lazy enough to collect their pre-booked tickets to the Super GT Weather was hot with slight drizzle on the way to SIC, although at the track itself, its the usual Sepang weather which is extremely hot, sunny and windy at the same time. For those who are planning to visit the track tomorrow, bring your sunscreen and a hat! Here’s what happened from 2pm on Friday. Above is last year’s winning car, the Autech/Motul Nissan 350Z.

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!
