Angle D5's Saturday Night Drift

I went for Angle D5's Saturday Night Drift at Speedway PLUS Circuit, USJ Rest & Service Area last weekend after been told by Fatlansai a.k.a Mr Nice Guy.

Angle D5 is a Malaysian Drift Team established in May 2005. The name Angle D5 is chosen because of the word " Angle" which means for the maximum angle that every drifter should make as they are drifting along a corner.

As for "D5", it is because this group was found by a Malaysian Drifter named Ah Fai also known as "D Fai" or "D5"


I reach there with my gf around 8.30pm. That time the place was not so crowded and there was about 10 cars drifting on the circuit. I actually dunno wat to do there coz they dun have a event schedule.

I stay there for one hour, when i left i noticed that the place started to get crowded and the drift cars also getting more. Anyway, I think it is still a good place to go on Saturday night rather than "rempit" on the street and died

D1 Grand Prix Malaysia | Round 5 (Part 2)

Another interesting part of the D1 Grand Prix Malaysia | Round 5 was demo show performed by two Japanese drifters, Youchi Imaruma and Tsuyoshi Tezuka who were also judges in the event .

Both of them were driving Mazda RX-7 FC and RX-7 with very skillful drifting technique. Just watch the video clip below...



One of the rear wheel drive Proton Waja tuned by R3 team also took part during the demo. The car setup was sucks because the Japanese can't drift it.

D1 Grand Prix Malaysia | Round 5 Part 1

D1 Grand Prix Malaysia | Round 5 was held in Stadium Shah Alam last weekend. It was the final round for drift racing D1 GP in Malaysia this year before proceeding to US in December.

The place was damn crowded although the weather was cloudy and start to rain after the race started.

Before the race started I go for a quick tour at the D1 booth to check out their cars.

I met Tengku Djan Ley (red shirt), the first Malaysia Drift King who has won Rd 2 in Danga Bay, Johore Baru in April and Rd 3 at Shah Alam in July.

Unfortunately, he blown his powerful Toyota AE 86's engine during the qualifying session. However, he still won the first D1 Grand Prix (D1 GP) Malaysia series with the total point of 76.

He will be going to Irwindale Speedway, US for 2006 D1 Grand Prix World Championship on 16th December.

There were total of 37 cars participated in the race. Drifting is where drivers compete in rear-wheel drive cars to keep their cars sideways as long as possible.

Drifting competitions are judged based not on the time it takes to complete a course, but on line, angle, speed, and show factor where one car follows another through the course.

Basically, it's like two cars chasing each other while performing their skillful drifting skill. If you watched Initial D, then I'm sure you know what I mean ya.

Not many show gals at the show, I only managed to take this 2 official D1 Ambassadors.

Finally, Nazrul Afizi B. Mohd.Nayan won the D1 Grand Prix Malaysia | Round 5. His performance was really good that day. He deserved it.


Video clip of the winner doing donut with one of the ambassador in his the car.

My tired face after hours of standing in the rain.

That's it for today, I will post another video clip of Imamura and Tezuka (the official judges) doing demo on the course on part 2.
