SWEET 16 HAS NEVER BEEN SWEETER   

                         LAH!



                   


The track laid out by FD judges Andy Yen and Dai Yoshihara at
turns 1 and 2 of the world class F1 Track in Marina Bay Singapore
proved to be a handful for most of the competitors last weekend
(April 24-25) as they admitted that they've combined bits of
FD Long Beach, FD World Championship and FD Atlanta into it.
Small wonder that the competitors fumbled, spun out and just
had an all around hard time traversing the track smoothly.

The track was so difficult that they only managed to get 29 drivers with scores to get in the Top 32, the rest all got zeroes during their qualifying runs so that the highest 3 qualifiers namely Ryuji Miki, Atsushi Murata and Tengku Djan Ley automatically got into the Sweet 16 by default.  By the end of their practice the rest of the competitors eventually got it though and were obviously thankful (and relieved!) afterward since the track clearly showed off their driving skills and it no doubt helped in improving them even further.

DMFDrift/Goodyear Racing's unseeded/22nd qualifier David Feliciano scored an upset when he managed to knock out Tyrepac Kumho's 7th seed/11th qualifier Malaysian Ee Yoong Chern out of the running during their battle into the top 16 group.

A "one more time" was given and this spelled trouble for FD Asia's featured driver Ee Yoong Chern as he spun out at the last corner when they battled against each other the 2nd time around, awarding the win to our very own David Feliciano.

David who entered the season unseeded, was able to get into the Sweet 16 only on his 3rd Formula D competition. This win was definitely sweeter as everyone who's into this sport knows that drift competitions usually pair off the top qualifier with the last one (and so on and so forth) that a win by the "underdog" or lower qualified competitor was almost always harder to clinch.

But
the day proved to be one for upsets. It seemed like it wasn't only David who managed to squeak past their higher ranked and higher qualified opponents as GT Radial's 8th seed/17th qualifier Indonesian driver Rhenadi Arinton can attest to as he knocked out 5th seed/top qualifier Formula D US PRO and 2004 D1GP champion Goodyear/Spark Motorsport's Ryuji Miki in their battle for the Sweet 16! The latest acquired Goodyear Malaysian driver 14th seed/15th qualifier Hanizam Bin Hamzah did the same when he battled against 7th seed/2nd qualifier Red Bull's Japanese driver Atsushi Murata.

Now that's where the beauty of drifting lies.  It is that unpredictable that even the best of the best can be beaten with just one wrong move. Skills, the right equipment and even luck are all part of the equation in drifting. 

David went up against ISC/Toyo Tires' 6th qualifier Malaysian Lim Kim Wan next for the battle for a spot in the Great Eight and had a chance to win it when Lim spun out during an overly aggressive move at the 1st front clipping corner. But the next run with David at the lead showed him also committing the same mistake that Ee Yoong Chern did during their battle and also spun out at the same last corner. Another "one more time" was handed out and veteran driver Lim easily got the win that time around (rotary) powered by his baby blue RX-7 FD3S.


LATEST UPDATE: We just got word from Formula D Asia that with this latest round, David is now ranked 13th out of the 42 competitors that joined and will come in with this ranking for the next FD in Indonesia bringing with him the points he earned from this comp. Woohoo!

This just goes to show that with hard work...practice and improvements (a lot of tweaking) on the Great White comes the reward. Getting in the Top 16 on only our 3rd comp was really just the perfect way to open the season and we're hoping to improve our ranking further in the coming Formula D events scheduled throughout the year.

We'd like to CONGRATULATE podium finishers for Formula Drift Singapore 2010: Back to back Champion Malaysian Tengku Djan Ley, Runner-up Malaysian Tan Tat Wei and for 3rd position 2006 D1NZ Champion Kiwi "Fanga" Dan Woolhouse! CHEERS!!

We'd like to THANK all of our SPONSORS, FRIENDS and PARTNERS for the continued and untiring support. Cliche as it may sound...it's true when we say we couldn't have done it without you guys!!
