Corruptions and Controversies.

Sunday was going to be a boring day so I went for a drift event in IIUM(Islamic Uni) Gombak side. I went there with King How and his 2 friends, Ken Jo and Darren. Ken Jo drove his Hyundai Matrix. On the way we stopped at a Dim Sum shop in Sentul to have breakfast. Breakfast was good but a little pricey I would say. After that we proceed to IIUM.

It was a GoodYear Organized Event and I expected it to be in a Professional Level. But gawd was it filled with corruption and controversies. You have politics in Motorsports too.

It's basically like this, the competition is open to anyone and Team GoodYear(3 people driving AE2000, R34 Skyfiro A31 and a Cefiro A31) themselves are competing in it too. They are like known to be amongst the best in Malaysia. In 1 SemiFinal where Team GoodYear Skyfiro(Above Pic) was battling it out against a KE70 and the judge ask them to repeat the battle for like 8 times. In many ocassions, the KE70 clearly have won the round but just because it's a GoodYear event, the judge try to give advantage to them which is so unfair.

Ended up the spectators started booing Team GoodYear due of the unfair judging. So Team GoodYear responded and guess what they did? They told the judge to purposely make them lose to cover it up but it was so obvious that by doing that, it makes people think of them worse.

Seriously, this is bad for the sport and it will affect the growth of this sport in Malaysia. Someone's got to stop this.

Ok, now to the good stuff...Below is a video of a drifter named Jack. He drives a Nissan Cefiro A31 RB25DET. He is my favourite drifter for this event as he drifts with a lot of speed, precision and last but not least SMOKE!!!Check the video out!
