Drifting is a high-skilled, high-powered motor sport where drivers intentionally maneuver their cars into well executed, controlled sideways slides at high speeds through a marked course. Originating from Japan and made popular by the Initial D anime, drifting is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross.
This is the 1st time that this event is held in Malaysia and the location was the sprawling MAEPS complex in Serdang. Over 50 drivers competed over 2 the days to get to the top spot as they were judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time,
Gear used: Sony Alpha a700 + SAL70~300mm G

The battles were held in tandem; 2 drivers going head to head. The lead car needs to be able to run the course without error while being pressured by the following car. The following car is to try and “out drive” the lead car. In the event there is no clear majority, a “One More Time” will be granted, and the competitors will begin another 2-run head-to-head battle until a winner is declared..
