On Oct 4th, Formula Drift Singapore together with Sync Optima conducted our very first Drift 101 Clinic at the Nusajaya Drift track in Johore. The Drift Clinic came about as a result of feedback from many FD Fans who wanted a chance to experience the “Rush” of drifting for themselves. Unlike other courses such as defensive driving, whereby participants are welcome to use their own machine, certain specific vehicle mods are required for drifting, namely, a Rear Wheel Drive vehicle and an LSD (Limited Slip Differential). Thus, we the good people at FD and Sync Optima decided to provide our own fleet of drift ready vehicles for the participant’s usage.

Preparations were made to get the grounds ready for the participant’s usuage. Hands-off to Jane, Ariff and the rest of the Sync Optima team for taking the time and the effort to tidy up the grounds. It sure looked like pretty hard work!

The trailer with all the drift vehicles arrive. It always brings a smile to my face everytime I see a truckload of vehicles ready to go side-ways!

The instructors Colin, Ivan and Ariff gather to discuss the day’s syllabus. I guess it is never too early to discuss the “specifics” of drift. Yup, it was 4am when this picture was taken.
