Tyrepac co-sponsored the Goodyear Formula Drift Malaysia held in MAEPS (Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang) from 19th to 20th of December 2009. The event was a roaring success, attracting a crowd turnout in excess of 12,000 people.
The event gathered a total of 54 drivers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand, and Japan. Tyrepac is pleased to have Ivan Lim and Ee Yoong Chern fly the Tyrepac flag as Team Tyrepac drivers.
The race was hard fought but eventually, it was again Malaysian Tengku Djan who emerged victorious, with Thailand’s Drift King Kiki taking second spot, and New Zealand’s “Mad” Mike emerging third. It was an action-packed Sunday with the entire grandstand cheering for their home grown hero.
Festivities were in abundance throughout the two days. Goodyear’s flying blimp was seen pacing the race ground throughout the two days, drummers, autographs sessions, girls, girls and more girls…ah! Tyrepac as usual went about diligently ensuring no tyres were left unchanged for all drivers, but still found time to mingle with the crowd with some games.

Goodyear Formula Drift Malaysia was truly a well-organized, well-planned, and superbly executed event for the Asian race calendar. Kudos to ESPN event management, Goodyear, members from Formula Drift, Driftpac, Pitcrew, Tyrepac Malaysia, Newera training school, MAEPS, sponsors, volunteers, the great Malaysian crowd, and definitely the drivers.
I am sure, like me, those who did attend this event will be looking forward to the next.
