[wetwetwater]

Zero Lim isnt participating due to some personal reasons.

Wooi!!! There would be 4 guys from New Zealand. And still no news yet on guys from UK. The good news is, we have professional driver in TDjan. I hope Zee not crack under pressure. hehehe. But i have faith in them. Hope they make it in the last 4. Both of them!!!!

Well, Irwindale is a high speed and long course...I wonder if ZEE and Djan is used to those type of drifting or not because Malaysia all the course also short 1...Not saying that they lousy but just concerned...anyway I wish them luck and full support...

the difference of power will show , just like the 800hp-IIRC mustang vs Katsuhiro Ueo's AE86 tsuiso in the Las Vegas usa vs japan event .

jkx130289: is tat ure signature? .. if so .. please resize it.. thnx

 

[ueo katsuhiro]

just like Beau Yates ae86 20v turbo vs 1000hp holden

 

[jkx130289]

Yeah...ZEE's car has about a little less than 350BHP...Djan has only bout 200 i guess....The 1's at Japan and USA all have 400+ and some like Atsushi Kuroi and Vaughn Gittin have 700+BHP....But i think the ideal horsepower for drift is around 400-500...

 

[netmatrix]

Those american car need such power because of the longer wheelbase and heavier body. I thik it doesn't really matter much if the 300hp car can follow the 800hp car. Because when they drift, when the corner and apex comes, still have to negotiate sideways. Of course big hp cars can start the drift early. Small powered cars can play cucuk at corners. That is good enough for points.
