Drifters...

sg drifters skill not tat gd..

maybe cos sg no proper place for them to practice..

this drifter is rather popular...

his hair caught my attention...

Day 2-Finals

today i came well prepared...

wear shorts...

put frozen water bottle into a cooler bag..

so today more comfortable..

but still humid n sticky...

Im shock tat its 2 cars drift together...

cos yesterday only 1 car drift...

its harder oh...

need to speed, control steering wheel, need to corner carefully, need to be careful not to knock into the other car....

some car got strategy...

the front car will purposely chiong slower.. then block the behind car which is speeding faster..

end up the behind car goto brake.. n this will affect their cornering..

after the drift..

drivers display themselves...

it is very noisy there...

im surprise got baby there..

not very gd for her ear though..

but she din cry at all despite the noise...

performance on doing the donut...

but need to have lots of practice ba...

they r really gd in controlling their cars oh...
