Drift Drift 2

Sunday, 19 December I went for the second day of Formula Drift Malaysia. This time its two cars on the track at the same time. Imagine even with one car the track is already very small now there's two! The second day started with the top 32 drivers competing to be in the top 16. The drivers still need to score points like the previous round but now there is one more criteria: the closer you are to the leading car the more points you get. Each driver will lead for one round and then follow for the other round. So if you are the leading driver then you pretty much have to do the same thing like in the first day, go around the track and get as many points as possible. But if you are the following driver then you have one extra thing to keep in mind, stay as close as possible to the car in front.

Most of the time the cars will spin out or crash and not complete the race, but when they do complete the race, it's damn cun. The cars will be really really close to each other, especially at the lollipop turn. Too bad for me there were too many people there on that day, can't really see whats happening most of the time, can't take pictures of the race also.

After the top 32 race, everybody was allowed to meet the drivers and get their autographs. Plus we got to see the cars up close.

Pit girls!!!

I didn't stay till the end though, so I didn't see who won. Had to leave early because got football match at 7 o'clock, Kajang Christmas Cup. On that day, I not only went to see the drift event, I also got two medals! yay!

One was for the "Larian Koperasi 1Malaysia" which I went with Chi Liang in the morning. 7km in 42 minutes. And we got the medal even though we started 5 minutes late. The second medal was for the football match. Although I have to admit I didn't do much because most of my team members were already experienced players who joined other football leagues. So two medals in one day, one in the morning and one at night, and a slight sunburn from the afternoon's drift event.
