DBD D1:10 Drift Challenge'09 report

A total of 31 Drifters from 3 districts Brunei Muara, Tutong & Belait including 1 drifter from Miri participated in this event. This is DBD's first event and after weeks of preparation, the big day finally came for us to host 31 drifters who are ready to qualify for the Top 16 spots in the qualification round.

Drifters came as early as 8am in the morning to try out the track which consist of short quick straights accompanied by sharp hairpin turns, a flyover bridge over the track and a quick quarter pipe which was quite steep and narrow to make the whole drift race challenging. Teams and individuals then proceed to have the commitee check their new unused control tyres 'Drifter street F2' and use the time they have to try out the track on F2 tyres. Briefing was made to ensure every drifters understand the rules and format of the race. As usual, Drift-Tech's format was use in the point system and an additional point system was added for the quarter pipe as we manage to catch some drifters getting stuck on the pipe or didnt have enough momentum and power from their slides to achieve the slide across the pipe.

The race initially came to a start at 10.30am and since it was our first time organizing such race, the first qualifying round took us more than an hour to complete with only 1 drifter among the 31 managing to complete the whole track with a maximum point of 300.

Then it was a break for an hour for lunch and the midday prayer as we prepared for the 2nd and 3rd qualifying round. The heat of the sun was very unbearable as comittee and drifters tried to beat it throughout the whole 3 qualifiers. Best time was set with maximum points intact and everyone did their best to mantain their points and time by then.

As we proceed to the knockout stage of the Top 16 drivers, what we have feared all this time finally came true. The heavy downfall of rain which lasted for 5 hours stopped the race and we had meetings with the remaining drifters who agreed to have the remaining event postponed to another date in the near future. We would like to apologize for that as we are in no control of mothernature's cause of act. However a date will soon be announced and on behalf of DBD, we would like to thank all drifters for their support in our event. So we hope to see the remainding participants as soon as we set our dates. Thank you very much all.
