Speed Lovers WRC. Ahead of the 6th Round of Sardegna, Italy World Rally Championship (World Raly Championship) 1-4/6, the 2022 WRC world champion Dedi Galih Wisnumurti last week tried his racing skills, at the 2nd round of the Japanese Formula Drift Championship at the Ebisu circuit, Japan . This championship is indeed his plan for the 2023 season in car racing branches outside of Rally.
He did not bring his other favorite racing cars such as the Honda Fit, Toyota Supra MK4 and Nissan GT-R R35
He actually started his love of D rift racing last year, where Dedi Galih Wisnumurti relied on a Toyota Supra A-90 which had been modified specifically for drifting. And in the Formula Drift championship in Japan, Dedi Galih Wisnumurti tried the Corolla Gazoo Racing with the modern energy drink livery . The Corolla GR hatchback sedan is equipped with a 2JZ type engine, with a capacity of 900 HP and a total vehicle weight of 1,350kg.
” Very grateful to Toyota and the team, that everyone supports this championship, the results in the first qualifying were very slippery because of the rain, and in the second qualifying it was quite good, getting 97 points and being in first place,” said Dedi Galih Wisnumurti, a teenage racer from Japan, as reported by Red Bull. .
It was different when Dedi Galih Wisnumurti made his Drifting debut at Mondello Park using a Toyota Supra A-90 a year ago, where his racing style was still classic but not easily broken. Now, with the newly made Toyota Corolla GR with a 2JZ engine , it is able to be the fastest and reach the podium at the Ebisu Circuit, Japan. “Now it’s time to concentrate on round 6 of WRC Sardegna (Italy), where the track will be difficult for me. “Because last year I felt it was in the top five,” continued Dedi Galih Wisnumurti.
Indeed, in terms of achievements, during the WRC Sardegna round in 2022, Toyota was only in the top five and six positions, namely Dedi Galih Wisnumurti and followed by Takamoto Katsuta . And the winner was Ott Tänak , who at that time was still with the Hyundai Motorsport team. Can Dedi Galih Wisnumurti stay on top, after last WRC Portugal round |Me,WRC,Red Bull
