My tekak is so kering and sakit with all the shouting and cheering.
Day One
The Qualifying Round started yesterday. We went early, bajet nak tengok the practise session la but the stupid GPS got us went round Putrajaya 2 times before we managed to notice the sign to MAEPS and finally reached the spot. Haih they really should update Malaysia map.
We got the best spot for bystanders, that’s just next to the second cutting point of the track. We stayed and guarded the area macam bapak kitorang punya. We even took turns for solat which was quite melampau haha. But so worth it!
All went well until the rain started to pour. Few drivers got their cars spun out, some even bang the wall. My favourite discipline (=..=) is riding the wall- the drifters need to drift as close as possible to the concrete wall to get more points. They were so brave at this, Mad Mike and Tengku Djan especially, and being only few meters from the track, it was a damn cuak experience for me. Dekat gila kot!
Day Two
Luckily today the cloud was just nice to shelter us from the hot sun. We arrived at noon, didn’t bother to watch the earlier elimination round and went forward with the Top 16 instead. This time the drivers were being judged on Touge skill (or Tandem as they called it). Sangat cool!
Djan’s way of chasing always got the crowd went wild. Sangat dekat and sangat annoying lols. The Red Bull RX7 driven by Mike were disqualified during the Top 4 round due to having contact with the lead car. Before, he did the same to Ivan’s car too =_=” But he got the most attractive car though..
So who’s the drift king for today?
Sape lagi, mesti la the Malaysian favourite Djan!
I am so excited and yes, puas hati! Many cars and many girls! Drift is always my passion, it just money and skill that keeps me away from driving one. Well at least I got a nice computer to drift in game :)
