Formula DRIFT Singapore Day 5 – It’s All Over
by ryan on Apr.26, 2010, under Behind The Scenes
Well, I am actually writing this latest entry as I am now back in LA after a 20 hour trek back across the Pacific from Singapore. I took quite a bit of video on the final day in Sing so I will be working on a small video blog that will hopefully encapsulate the competition and the dominant win by Malaysia’s Tenku Djan. Here are a few pics from our last day and a cool vid of our sound guy singing some GNR. This guy was pretty epic. He told us he was a lounge singer so of course we were provoking him to belt out some choons all day. Guy had a wicked good voice.
Till next time..
- Our boys with the tire models before track time
- Dai and Jim
- There they go again
- Boss man awaiting the day
- We are off home
- Wish we were on this but the 747 will suffice.

Singapore Day 4 – It’s Still Hot Here
by ryan on Apr.24, 2010, under Behind The Scenes
So, we are entering day 4 here in Singapore, which for the U.S. boys is really day 6 when you consider the traveling and what not. My slowly diminishing number of photos in comparison to the other days is a direct reflection of the event days getting crazier and us getting more tired. The feeling of being here in this amazing country is slowly being taken over by the fact that when we get back to our hotels and hit the pillow, it’s an extremely quick fade to black operation.
That being said, today is game day and we have seen some really good drifting. This track is very challenging for the drivers as it has a little bit of World Championship, a little bit of Long Beach and a little bit of Atlanta all in the same track as Andy and I were talking about yesterday. Our number 1 qualifier was Miki but Djan is showing signs that he is not messing around either. His first qualifying run was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen pretty much ever, but he just could not quite pull off the angle and had to settle for a more conservative second run.
Anyway, should be a great day!

Singapore Day 3 – Jim, Ryan, Jarod, Dai and now Andy Yen Adventures
by ryan on Apr.23, 2010, under Behind The Scenes
Day Three – It’s still hot and humid, but we are all getting use to it. The track is finished and all the grandstands are installed. The cars teams have rolled in and we had media day as well as final touches on the track clipping points by master “track layer outer” Andy Yen and of course Dai. Always fun watching Dai drive, a real talent for sure. Dai is amazingly popular here, just as he is in the states. It seems to be even more crazy here as where ever we go people are always stopping him and taking photos, etc etc. Pretty cool. I am stoked for him.
Ok, day four began 20 minutes ago…. off to the venue for practice and qualifying
- on the way to the track. Charles Ng rolled in too
