IN DRIFTING, drivers force their car to slide sideways through a turn. A simple drift has a car moving sideways through a single turn, but it can get much more complex.
At the pro level, drivers can drift through several opposing turns without their wheels ever gripping the road. The multiple, tight, S-type turn configurations allow drivers to display the most advanced drifting skills.
The activity, which originated from the street racers of Japan more than 15 years ago, is now a professional motorsport. Events are held globally, including in Japan, Australia, the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Britain and New Zealand.
The Formula Drift ProAm Series will feature 28 drivers from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
It will be held on July 4-5 at the Plaza at Changi Exhibition Centre.
