blogentry-133713-0-33896100-1435671792_thumb.pngHere are some highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Cars which performed included, a Baja Truck, a two-wheeling Juke Nismo and a mad Nascar.

 

Our favourite is the Baja 1000 truck where it pleased the crowds with its tail-out antics. The spongy springs add to the spectacle. Patrick Friesacher's Toyota Camry NASCAR burnout was pretty entertaining too when his car caught fire. It was more of a smokeout than a burnout to us! Jean Ragnotti doing perfect 360 degree spins in his Renault 5 Maxi Turbo wasn't too shabby too!

 

A new Guinness world record was also set for the fastest time over 1 mile(1.6km) on two wheels. Completed in 2 minutes 10 seconds, Terry Grant drove a Nissan Juke RS Nismo up the hill on two wheels and smashed the previous record of 2 minutes and 45 seconds. When he went up the ramp, it did look like he nearly it lost it!

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    My favourite racing game is back!

    THERE'S A NEW TOKYO XTREME RACER GAME ON THE WAYYYY!!!! This is the best news for fans of this rather understated and obscure racing game. Also known as Shutoko Battle in Japan, this is a series of racing games by Genki, a Japanese game company that was founded in 1990. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is one of the most popular game in the series as it features many cars, opponents and an extensive map For those that have never heard of these games, I'll give you a quick run-down. Inspired by the

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 1

    Some of my colleagues will know that I make electronic music outside of work and school. A stark contrast from the impression I give off (several people throughout my teenage years told me I seemed more like a classical guy). Truth be told, I wasn’t always into music. Growing up in an average Singaporean Chinese household, my main sources were either the sporadic exposure to radio stations, or more frequently the theme songs of whatever was playing on KidsCentral/Okto (RIP free-to-air kids
