Burning rubbers (Formula Drift Singapore 2012)

Went for the second day of Formula Drift Singapore 2012. Great performance from drivers of various nationalities with good weather, albeit the hot sun in the afternoon which resulted in me having some sunburn. The new Hachiroukus was on show as well. A couple of the 86s were in the tented air-conditioned room showcasing both the toyota stock and TRD versions. Many people were in there but I think majority were inside for the aircon but not the cars! There was a hot lap by three racers on the GT86 on the track to test out the performance of the car. Turns out to be quite good!

Was there mainly to admire the cars and enjoy the heat of the race so didn't shoot many pictures. But here are a few!

A Toyota Supra, driven by Benjamin Chiam, crashed at the start of turn 2 and damaged the left side of the car badly.

After being towed back to the team's tent, many passers-by crowded around the damaged car to look at the aftermath, while the driver (center) and the crew helped secure the rear bumper with cable ties.
