Fun Weekend @ Sentul Circuit


Last week I’ve uploaded some photos from the embryo of Indonesian Drifting Event. Yesterday morning, I got a message from my friend asking me whether I want to go along with him to meet up with Rizal Sungkar from Rft Management at Sentul International Circuit. The event was some kind of Mercedes Benz gathering and time attack. And I replied the massages ‘time attack? Are you serious? ’

Well it turns out it wasn’t a real time attack. It was more like Individuals practising. And was strange for me that there were plenty Mercedes Benz parked outside at the parking space but hell there were few BMW parked inside the paddock area and it wasn’t an ordinary BMW.



My friend who was texting me is the owner of the Evo VIII from the first post. And one thing leads to another.....

At this event, we didn’t use any sophisticated time measurement like many of you from overseas use. We just timed it with simple stop watch. My friend who wasn’t intentionally went to the event for testing his car went crazy seeing others pushing their cars to the limits. So Rizal helped him by giving a bit coaching clinics. He ended up having a great time.

Here are some other pictures from that day. Thank God I have this wonderful weekend after a long hard and stressful week.

At the end of the day, Rizal said he will try to organize event like this in the future. Let’s hope that soon we will see more serious. Time Attack event held in Indonesia.

'91 Toyota Corolla TwinCam GTi

What a ridiculous horrible long weekdays I had. The only thing that I know was going to make me happy was I’m going to shoot my friend’s 1991 Twin Cam GTI on Saturday morning. And f#$k it took a long time from Thursday nite to Saturday morning. But thank God Saturday did arrive. I had to leave house around 5am just to get nice orange sky on the top of a parking lot. Guess what? Shit happened again. The parking space closed due to renovation. We have to find another location. The rest of the session went fine. To be honest I’m not that satisfied with these photos. I will do it again next time. And when that time comes everything will goes according to the plan. =)

Let’s get on with this car shall we.

He’s running on a set of IRS 15 x 6 with Advan Neova wrapped around and Koni Adjustable with King Spring to support it.

This Foha Ducktail looks awesome isn’t?

The owner has lots of friends own an old school Toyotas. Hopefully I will be able to put them on my blog asap

After this photo shoot, I got a text messages from my friend about a time attack event at Sentul Circuit. Don’t forget to check on the next post. Thanks.

Indonesian Drift Demo Featured on SpeedHunters on March, 17th 2 days after its Creative Director Rod Chong emailed me asking about some photos that I uploaded from a recent IDC demonstration event.


One or two photos here are not part of the photo roll or neither on my Facebook photo album.






And this Yaris/Vitz Belongs to young talented driver named Amandio who recently featured of Motor Magazine.




I got a very high hope that Indonesia will become a country that establishes Drifters that can compete on Formula D/D1 GP along with other international Drifters.

Amen.
