Thanks to charlessito for such effort to help the fellow drifters.

Just go down and meet him. I believe there are more pro drifters around to help too on the day.

Thank you.

. Each drifter will have the same amount of time for control practice
. Do Not Enter the track for practicing if you are not being told by the judge/organizer
. Remove your car ASAP when your control practice is over
. Drifters will be Disqualified if found Doing control practice on your own or on someone else time slot.

Qualifying

Individual runs

• Best 2 of 3 runs. Points from these 2 runs will be added together. These points will be used for ranking. If there is a tie, the 3rd lap will be taken into account. Best 1 of 2 runs if there is insufficient time. To be confirmed/announced on actual day.

• Points will only be awarded when participant is drifting at marked areas only.
o 10pts for closest marked apex
o 5pts for 2nd closest marked apex
o 2pts for drifting through the apex, but not in the marked areas

• Points for that particular apex will not be awarded if:
o No obvious drift action can be seen
o Late handbrake-style of entry into apex
o Drift was affected due to impact/contact with track markers

• Points for angle/smoothness/accidents will be observed and added onto the points of that run.

Twin battle

• There will be a practice lap if time permits.

• 1 session consists of 2 runs. The higher ranked qualifier will be the leader for the first run, and there will be a swap of position for the second run.

• Judged on smoothness and consistency, flow and angle, and distance
o Judges will deduct respective points throughout the run. At the end of each run, judges will compare the points and announce who has won that particular run.
o In the case where player A won the first run and tie for the second, player A will win that match.

• A tie situation will be issued if player A won the first run and lost the second, or tie for both runs.
o Another session will be required if there is a tie. If it is still a tie after 2 sessions, a sudden death consisting of a single run will be made with the higher qualifier as the leader. Participants will run continuously until an accident that affects the drift is made by either participant. The participant that first makes the accident in this sudden death will lose.
o For top 4 or if time permits, there will be more than 2 sessions before sudden death to ensure a better justified result.
o In the event of sudden death, participant that tour will be given 1 warning and subsequent touring action will result in a loss.

• During a run, marshals are NOT allowed to recover a car that is stuck. They can recover a car after a run (After the other car finishes). In this situation, the car that is stuck and cannot recover by itself will automatically lose that run. If both cars get stuck and cannot recover by themselves, it will be a tie situation.

• If the car crosses the divider to the other side or gets stuck, he loses that run immediately.

• In the case where the leader crashes and the chaser crashes into the leader, there will be no points deducted from the chaser. Points will be deducted from the leader only.

Distance (Seen by 3rd judge):
• points will be added to leader if leader manage to pull away.
• points will be added to chaser if chaser can keep up.
• Overtaking is allowed (Points will be awarded for clean overtaking), but it is not advisable to overtake unless the lead car has an accident. Overtaking does not guarantee a win.

** Judges decision will be final.
