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!

In other words; its a drift event! =D Then again, we were accompanied by several mat rempits professional stunt bike riders and mini bikes other than the cars themselves. 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….
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!!!
I guess the title says it all!! Let’s head straight onto the action in the final part of the UITM AutoMech Drift event! Less comments, more impactful pictures below!
During the drift event, there was a closing ceremony that was held by the students of UITM’s Mechanical Engineering faculty, featuring some of the faculty’s heads of department and top lecturers. After the usual Malaysian ceremony proper had ended (speeches, prayers and ceremonious grandeur), five handpicked drifters were chosen to represent the drift scene as VIP taxis. Here’s some of the pictures taken at the closing show!
