From ducatis to drift cars...it’s quite obvious that Ryan’s not your
ordinary, everyday celebrity. His choice of hobbies pretty much shows us that
behind his boy next door good looks and dazzling whites is a man’s man who
thrives in thrill and excitement. It doesn’t take a genius to know that you’ve
got to have guts and a big set in between to take up this kind of sport.
Ryan, who’s used to being on cam actually gets camera shy when he’s inside his car. Know idea why, cause based on what we’ve seen so far, his
practices have all but paid off and were proud to say he’s a dmfdrifter and one of our own. This is one guy to watch out for. To play his vid footage, pls click on link provided below to see for yourself and know what we mean.
Just got back from KL and again we would like to thank all our sponsors and friends that supported us in the first Formula D held at MAEPS, Serdang, Malaysia last Dec. 19-20.
We are thankful for the opportunity to compete and learn from 53 top drifters all over Asia that joined. The rain didn't deter the drift drivers from performing and doing their best throughout the competition that held its Qualifying Rounds last Dec. 19 and the Finals the next day.
We would like to congratulate the Top 3 podium finishers - Tengku Djan - Champion (Malaysia), Sak Nana Kiki - 2nd Place (Thailand) and Mad Mike Whiddett - 3rd Place (New Zealand)!
We would also
like to take the time to thank our new found drifter/tuner friends in
Malaysia--- they helped us out a lot in making the car even stronger
and better than the last time.
To you guys, a heartfelt"Maraming Salamat po!"and "Terima Kasih!"

After only our 2nd try, we are happy to announce that we were able to qualify and make it to the Top 32 (28th) but was unfortunately knocked out by 5th ranked Ser Ming Hui aka Ah Fai (Malaysia) in our battle for the Sweet 16 spot.
Now that the Great White is up to par in terms of performance, it is now time for us to learn the car and bring out it's maximum potential. Practice and seat time will now be the key in further improving our standing in the coming drift events.
