I know I might get shot for this but this year's Formula Drift to me was...disappointing. Unlike last year where the organisers provided seats and shelter for everyone holding a ticket, spectators were left to navigate around bare open grass jostling for space at the barriers under the blazing sun to catch a glimpse of the cars going around a very short drift course. Much unlike the drift competitions held in the US. Furthermore unlike last year's show where they got an internationally renowned stunt biker to liven the crowds, this year they just got a pair of Nissan 370Zs to pull handbrake turns on the course. Hand brakes turns that both you and I can do with our eyes closed. The location might've been great but the execution of the entire event was nonsense.

 

I would've much preferred attending the Formula Drift at the Changi Exhibition Centre. To be honest, even the competitors weren't very impressive with several of them heading for the barrier immediately after the long straight without ever making it to first turn. If the organizers want to liven things up a bit, I believe they should invest more efforts in getting more professional drivers from the US, Japan and NZ. Having drivers like Dai Yoshihara or Rhys Millen among the competitors will definitely raise the thrill level a couple of notches further. Though a lone Detroit muscle did make an appearance in the form of a Holden V8, more examples like Mustangs would've added further depth and range to the mechanical aural pleasure for the audience. Well...we could always hope for more next year...

Unfortunately, the Holden isn't a pure muscle , beneath it's bonnet lies an RB engine.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of
