LFS Star Drift Rnd 1 @ Virtual A'Famosa, Melaka - RUNNER UP

Back in the exhibition round, I finished a satisfying 3rd. That time I was competing in the XRT/AE86 Coupe which can be said as a little underpowered but gives superb control ability. It's satisfying because I beat some of the more powerful cars especially the FZ50s. The top two were FZ5os too. FZ5Os are naturally aspirated RR cars producing about 350Bhp and massive torque while the XRT/AE86 only has 250Bhp.

In the Rnd 1 however gave me a tough descision of whether I shud use the lightweight RAC with only 250Bhp or the heavier but more horsepowered, torquey and punchy FZ5o. After several practices using both cars. I decided that the FZ50 is faster, more controllable and most important is I felt more comfortable pushing this beast to the limit whilst I had to reserve myself on the RAC because i've tried pushing it to the limit but to no avail, I often end up in a Mawata (SpinOut).

My choice of the FZ50 however kinda paid off as I qualified 2nd with 96points and fought hard through the tsuiso tandem battle to the runner up position. It was intense till the pressure and fatigue got the better of me in the Final Battle which caused me to crash into the tyre barriers.

Here are some pics to show you guys some action.... Enjoy!
p.s. I'm the Red car with white hood by the way!
