The New Fezza has landed


According to The Business Times Weekend, the first of the new Fezza is in Singapore at Ital Auto's Leng Kee showroom, but here's the thing... It's in left-hand-drive (Singapore cars are RHD), a static display model that will be here for a week before it heads off to Indonesia next.


However, Ital Auto says more than 30 cars have been ordered so far at S$920,000 a pop, with the first car on Singapore roads before September this year.

Coming Soon: Formula Drift Singapore '10


Formula Drift Singapore 2010 will be happening next month on 24 and 25 April 2010 at the F1 Pit Building!

No more long drives to Changi Exhibition Centre like the two previous events, the action is now right smack in the middle of town. More importantly, having the event on the Singapore GP track is symbolic of drifting's ascendancy as a respected motorsports in Singapore and the region.

The cars will accelerate down the main straight, then smoke their tyres through turns 1 to 3 - a great spectacle for the 8,000 fans expected to show up.

45 drivers from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand will compete. The only celebrity driver confirmed so far is Ryuji Miki (according to the media release), though I think its pretty likely the other top competitors Mad Mike, Kiki and Djan will show up as well.
