Well it all kicked off this weekend, an event I have been watching very closely. Formula D landed to invade Singapore with tuned drift cars, plenty of smoking tyres, and LOTS of sideways drift action! I have been monitoring the 'scene' lately in Singapore, and amazed at how passionate the population is when it comes to cars, and new sports such as drifting. All 11,000 tickets were sold out in a shot for this exhibition at the Changi Air Show grounds. Huge media interest and great setting and drivers made sure for an amazing event for all... I predict big things for SG drifting! I will continue to follow the scene in SG, and check it out in person at the end of the year, so I'm already making my contacts for that trip...should be interesting!
Driver and Media day briefing...
Street style course set up...looks great!
Mad Mike Whiddet from NZ rocked the FD RX7 to 3rd place...
The final 2...Malaysia's Tengku Djan in his AE86 battled it out with Japanese Drift hero Ryuji Miki, who was back in the Apexi RX7. Miki got first place, to win the first ever Formula D Singapore event!
Some video footage, listen to that crowd! Awsome
