Professional Drift Session @ Kompleks Sukan Negara

This drift session was held at KSN Bukit Jalil last weekend by Tengku Djan and R3. It is a little bit different from the conventional drift session held there, as the drift course is being setup at a much higher difficulty.

Tengku Djan participated in the D1GP Tokyo Drift last month in Odaiba, Tokyo. Having wanted to share his experiences with us, the drift course has been setup in a way that resembles the D1GP drift course in Odaiba.

The focus of the drift session is on the drift initiation part. You need to get the tail out at an maximum angle during initiation, and get the car to slide in a straight line towards the outer clipping point.

Entry speed of the Dunlop 32 is about 105km/h average recorded on my Garmin GPS. As you can see on the video, I did a slight feint on the entry to give that extra swing on the tail. Initiating the drift early is also important so as not to let the car slide too wide.



I must say the Dunlop 32 is really a tank. After having some encounters with the tyre barrier, all it suffered is a dented fender and dropped rear bumper. But hey, no pain no gain. The fastest way to learn is actually to push beyond the limits and slowly revert it. :)

Kudos to Tengku Djan and gang for the passion and patience. Hope we can do this more often in future.
