The Achilles Formula Drift Malaysia 2011 event is happening this weekend (17-18 Dec) at Dataran Merdeka with the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad building as backdrop. Malaysia is the third and final leg of the Achilles Asian Drift Series 2011.
It’s the drift event of the year, and there will be many big and familiar names competing. Defending champ Daigo Saito (Japan) will drift with the likes of Robbie Nishida (Japan), Joshua Boettcher (Australia), Kiki Sak Nana (Thailand) and Rhenadi Arinton (Indonesia), as well as locals Tan Tat Wei, Ariff Johanis, Ivan Lau and Lim Zee King, among other sideways experts.
And because of the location, organisers have announced partial and full road closures that will take place from 15-20 December, which is tomorrow till Sunday. The road closures are for them to set up safety structures at the venue. Refer to the map above and the list below:
Partial Road Closure: 14 Dec (Wednesday 10pm) to 15 Dec (Thursday 7am)

Full Road Closure: 15 Dec (Thursday 10 pm) to 19 Dec (Monday 4am)

can i go there watch for free?
can’t they just do it at other places?
Good question!!! Isn’t it will affect the business around and cause financial lost? This is what they claimed in Bersih 2.0
This is because DBKL will be paid for this event. Bersih 2.0 organizers are doing it for free (read: illegally).
takde tempat lain ke nak buat event ni? asyik nak tutup jalan je… pergilah buat kat open carpark somewhere!
with this kinda season, it might be a boat race later.. u know what im saying : )
