Recently, I managed to get the ticket for the PRO AM Formula Drift Championship 2009 held at MAEPS Serdang (thank God near to my house). So, I went there with my Alpha buddy (Mr. Din210) to catch the action...and for the first time ever in my life I watch car drifting (sounds pathetics rite?)...hahahaha...who cares...
Just wanna share a few shots taken during the event...
Actually i really dont have any idea what criterias shud be taken for the sport..Somehow i managed to get a few infos what is the judging criterias...In competition, drivers are given two (2) non-consecutive judged laps to qualify, with their top score counting towards placement into a field of 32. Only the top 32 drivers are allowed to continue into the tandem tournament rounds, with draws in scoring broken by entry speed...of course the winner will qualify...
Each qualifying run is judged on four (4) criteria: Speed, Line, Angle, and Overall Impression.
Speed is a combination of the entry speed on the first corner as well as the amount of speed the driver is able to carry through the entire course. Drivers are encouraged to drive as fast as they can through the entire course, not just the entry point. Maximum points are awarded for fast entries and consistent speed through the entire course.
Line is the ideal path a vehicle must take on course and is marked by Inner Clipping Points, Outer Clipping Points, and Transition Zones. Inner Clipping Point are reference points on the course where the vehicle’s front bumper should come as close as possible to the reference point. Outer Clipping Points are also reference points and scored by determining how close the corner of the vehicle’s rear bumper comes to the point. Transition Zones are areas on track where the direction of the line changes and vehicles must change the direction of their drift. Scoring will be based on the execution of the transition. The drift line will be given during the drivers’ meeting.
Angle measures the amount of counter-steer and relative rear slip angle a driver uses through the course.
Overall Impression is the general feel of the pass and how well the other three criteria were executed through the entirety of the lap. This is the most subjective criteria and judges will look for the most “excitement” that the driver can bring.
But one thing that i love motorsport is because....there will be packed of race queen there....hehehehe...
