blogentry-133713-0-72077800-1439953690_thumb.jpgFor those of you who are into motorsports on a grassroots level, DriveRite recently held its Tarmac Rally-X ('Anti-clockwise Mastery') event in Malacca a month ago.

blogentry-133713-0-97969100-1439953934_thumb.jpgBasically a fun and non-competitive track day for the less experienced drivers, the Tarmac Rally-X series is held over the course of the year and three out of the four rounds have since past. Always held at the Malacca International Motorsports Circuit (MIMC), the previous round's track format was in the anti-clockwise direction of the track.

 

Why is it called Tarmac Rally-X? Because at the end of the day, participants who will be grouped into respective classes in accordance to their car's engine size, will race against the clock WRC-style and set their own personal best timing. Top three times of each class will get a little trophy as a souvenir.

 

Anyway, here's some photo highlights of what happened there. Hope you guys like the photos!

blogentry-133713-0-30634800-1439954344_thumb.jpgand so did this WRX!

blogentry-133713-0-43389300-1439954068_thumb.jpgSo did this pretty Civic hatchback.

 

blogentry-133713-0-78575000-1439956063_thumb.jpgHondas were well represented that day...

 

blogentry-133713-0-36197000-1440059641_thumb.jpgunlike the lone BMW here which sounded good with its straight-six engine.

 

blogentry-133713-0-64588800-1439954417_thumb.jpgAnother straight-six engined car that sounded awesome was this mint-looking R32 Skyline GT-R.

 

blogentry-133713-0-87346400-1439954461_thumb.jpgAmazingly, more than five SUVs turned up for the event and therefore a class was created for them only.

blogentry-133713-0-98744900-1439954503_thumb.jpgFor those who have not been there, the MIMC is actually a pretty tight circuit which in turn suits smaller and less powerful cars more. With that in mind, I entered my humble little ride as a last hurrah before it reaches the end of its 10-year COE lifespan.

blogentry-133713-0-34149500-1439954513_thumb.jpgYes, the little Hyundai Getz was nowhere near the fastest in its 1.6-litre natural-aspirated class mostly due to my poor driving skills but I had a bucket load of fun trying to better my timing on every run. For those who are curious, I was almost five seconds away from the fastest, a Suzuki Swift Sport!

  • 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

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext

    I have a new favourite game - Dave the Diver!

    Nowadays I think many people have a Nintendo Switch, considering how it is often given away as a free gift when you sign up for credit cards,etc. Instead of just playing Mario Kart, Overcooked and Pokemon, I have another game to introduce to you all! The game is Dave the Diver. This game has completely captivated me with its delightful blend of adventure and relaxation. From the moment I dove into its vibrant underwater world, I was hooked. The gameplay mechanics strike that perfect b

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli
