Conoco Advance Driver Training

Anyone went to kallang to view the course ?

Quite a good show. Chief Instructor (Leslie "chung" ?) executed a 180 turn with hand brake and gun off all very smoothly.

Lots of cars signed up for the course. WRX STI, WRX, STI (suspect its TS 1.6), Nissan March, BMW 520i, MX5 (convertible), 2 x Toyota Corrola (1 new, 1 old), Nissan Sunny, 2 x Forrestor (1 with loud BOV ), Vivio, 3 x civic (2 old 1 new)

The race was flaged off by a civic which made a right turn and gunned down the long straight but unfortunately a little too fast and serious understeer was a result which caused the car to mount kerb and fly into the tree. Pretty badly damaged.

2nd accident was a black STI driven by an caucasian with sg girlfriend as co driver. He too took the corner too fast and almost crashed into the exact spot of the civic. The result was a heavily damaged rim and broken side skirt but other then that should be fine.

Both cars got towed away as a result. Feel heart pain to see these cars crash.

Other then that the main highlight was the nissan sunny driver who loves to handbrake. Quite a skillful driver considering he picked up the technique fast. Unfortunately this driver wasn't aware of the safety of bystanders when he exit the track and continued do his stunt. I just thought it was inconsiderate.

Nissan march amongst all cars clocked 1 of the fastest timing considering the car and engine size. It definitely ain't the car but a result of skill. Apparently the driver suffered an overturn to learn his lessons well.

Pretty spectacular I must say.

It was advertise around in several forums.

My friends took part in the event and enjoyed himself. One is the old Toyota Collora that you mentioned and the other is a Forrester.
