The Formula DRIFT Asia series is back to bring more smoking sideways action this December 18 at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! Can two consecutive time champion “The Prince of Drift” Tengku Djan Ley screech through an unprecendented hattrick this year? Perhaps homeground support can make winning easier and sweeter? Catch all this and more this December!
Ignition.my’s Bukit Putus Ballsout Drift event featuring Tengku Djan Ley is confirmed for October 30, 2010. Initially slated for Oct 10, 2010 (yes 10.10.10), the event had to be postponed due to unforseen circumstances.

Spurred by their victorious collaboration at Sepang 12-hour Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race (MME) last year, Team Proton R3 and X1-R are joining forces again – this time at the inaugural Sepang 1000km in June which the team aimed to top Class 2. “We can confirmed that we are putting two entries – a Proton Neo R3 and a Proton Gen2 R3. We still finalizing the drivers’ list; but for sure, they would be led by Malaysia’s top saloon car driver and Proton R3 test driver Faidzil Alang,” said team coordinator Najmi Razak. Winner of the MME overall title in 2008 in a Proton R3 Lotus Exige 300RR with Tengku Djan Ley and Damien French of Australia, Faidzil won Class B last year in a Proton Neo R3; partnering former Proton Production Car Championship winner Mohd Hafizy Hafiz and Shafique Ali.
Our very own dorifto king and one of the world’s best drifters, Tengku “Tandem Assassin” Djan Ley made it to the last 16 in the Red Bull Drifting World Championship where he succumbed to Samuel Hubinette of the United States.
The Red Bull Drifting World Championship is organised by Formula DRIFT, North America’s premier drifting Sanctioning Body, partnering Red Bull Energy Drink. The event, one of the world’s most anticipated drift events, which will feature 32 of the world’s best drifters, was held on the docks at the Port of Long Beach, Calif., last Saturday, November 15 through Sunday, November 16, 2008.
Congrats to T. Djan for a great showing!
