Personally, having attended practically all Formula Drift events, I am often touched by the people who make events such as these a success.
This feature is therefore a tribute to some of these people, who braved the sun and the rain to make Formula Drift Singapore 2010 so memorable.
The dedicated team from Formula Drift USA - among them Ryan and Jim, creator of Formula Drift.
Marcus Lim, Technical Director and franchise holder for Formula Drift Asia
Some of the operational crew for Formula Drift Asia, who toiled hard behind the scenes, and often neglected- at the starting grid, on the trackside, for inspections, registrations…the list goes on.
We cannot have a race without drivers, who often double up as models. Kudos to them for decking out in full race suit in this heat!
And we cannot have cars without the mechanics, who happens to be drivers sometimes, and who happens to be models some other times.
A special mention of the Tyrepac team, who over 3 days ensured all tyres change, was well handled and managed.
Various teams in the sponsor’s village kept visitors to the event occupied with merchandize, games, contest, food, and fun.
It is the effort of film crew and photographers, who captured all the pivotal moments of this great event to share and broadcast to the world.
And all these could not have happened without the kind sponsorship of various brands, and it definitely would not have happened without the enthusiastic crowd who came to this event.
Not forgetting (and who could have), the girls who always kept the smile, to make those few days brighter.
Lastly, not forgetting the fire fighters, the safety crew, the marshals, drivers’ support crew, the cleaners, and the security crew. The event was significant because all these people made it so.
Words: Ler Hwee Tiong, Managing Director, Tyrepac
