Intermediate Lesson: Drift Garage Drift with the Pros 13th Oct 2012

We recently held an Intermediate Drift Lesson with our friends from Drift Garage Singapore. A total of ten drifters made their way to MARDI, Selangor to attend this fun filled event.

























The main objective of the day were to get the drifters to get used to close door to door tandem drifting.

























Tips were given throughtout the day with regular drivers briefings where questions were answered and advise were given.






















The drifters were able to practice in both dry and wet as we had a water truck available to wet the course down towards the end of the day.

  

We also rented out our GTR 32 rental car for that day to one of our former beginner student!   

Lesson cars: Skyline GTR32

We have added a turbo platform in our stable and it comes in a form of a GTR32 Skyline.

 The car no longer has its 4wd drive train and is running RWD on 15 inch rims .

 Gone is the RB26 engine which is replaced by a SR20DET. This car has power steering and is fairly easy to drive! Please contact Jane for more information at jane@syncoptima.com

Intermediate Drift Lesson@ Putrajaya 28th April 2012

The intermediate lesson held recently had 5 of our former beginners students advanced to the intermediate level. The prerequisite to be upgraded is that the student owns his/her own drift car and should be able to proficiently drift a 2nd gear course.

The intermediate lesson stresses on higher speed drift entry , 3rd gear , where all the initiation methods were practiced and discussed.

 The finer points of car control were also taught which had the drifters tackling the course like veteran pros.

Individual weaknesses were pointed out and corrected throughout the course  of the day. 
We hope to see these students again once they are ready for the Advance lesson course!!

SODA session @ Shah Alam 10 Feb 2012

SODA Sessions are what we would call guided drift session where drifters are to adhere to session objective guidelines and  rules of conduct . Every session is design to be unique with different course objective laid out at the start of the day. We have found that discipline allows everyone to have fun safely thus strict rules of conduct is practiced throughout the session. Priority are given to former SODA students to attend  whenever we manage to secure a venue to hold for these sessions.

Last Friday SODA held one of the session with a small group of 5 drifters! Stay tune for more such sessions coming up
