overall its was a nice event. seeing all the different racers from various countries pitting against each other in a circuit seeing who is the best in drifting. Well the with that said. the 1st was Ryuji Miki from team USA driving a Mazda RX-7{FD}, then the 2nd place was Tengku Djan from team Malaysia driving a Toyota AE86 and finally the 3rd goes to Mike Whiddet from team New Zealand driving also a Mazda RX-7{FD}.
Overall i will have to say most of the matches are quite exciting and close especially the 1st and 2nd place. it was really a close fight till the 2nd run where the AE86 spun out causing him to lose and getting a 2nd. But i must say Ryuji Miki is a very skilled driver and his lining for the drift are very nice and its near perfect. eating the apex of the clipping points totally with minimal spacings. but Tengku Djan did well. guessed the pressure by Ryuji really were on him casuing him to spin out. but well done to both drivers and happy that RX-7 was first. im a supporter of a rotary engine afterall. haha
Mike Whiddet also did very well in his FD. all his attacks while he was chasing was very good. taking the apex totally and trying to overtake. his timing for attacks are very well executed. great job! and now i understand why his nickname is "mad mike". coz his drifts are simply crazy and nice! haha
However, its sad for Conrad Grunewald driving a Honda S2000. while racing Mike Whiddet for 3rd place. an accident occured and caused Conrad to forfeit due to car damage and no spare parts is available for him. but he is a good drifter too i must say. having a nice lining!
overall is a great event and worth the money. but totally drained my energy. as we got to stand throughout the event and the sun was shining brightly and hard on us, and we got no shelter except for 2 umbrellas. Now im having two tones on my skin. and a little sunburn on my face. haha. but i like the tan on my skin thou. been a long time since i got tanned. haha. hope i can maintain it. lolx!
oh and met Ivan my major project team mate and Phil my inital D team FREE team mate at the event too. surprising to see them at the event. cool. haha. really shall organize my team gathering soon. haha
so here 2 photos i took. one is the damaged S2000 and the other the 1st place RX-7{FD}
