Drifting in Hong Kong

[z33_meister]

Hi, I know this section is for Japan. But I was wondering if anyone knows of any drifting that goes on in Hong Kong. I just moved here a week ago and wanted to check out the car scene here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I think if there are any drifting going on, it'll be either on the streets, or the tracks in mainland, as I don't remember there being any tracks in HK.

Sorry I can't be of better help, since the last time I've been back there it was 2000, and when I grew up there I don't remember there being any tracks in HK anywhere.

macau has a track. look it up. about 2 hours away?

They go to Zhuhai, China, for the race track there. That's the nearest one in the Pearl delta area.

Zhuhai is probably the closest track. Was out there 2 months ago for the Pan Delta Race. The drift scene isnt big out there yet, but they do have a skid pad which they dont charge you to get on, but the ZIC race track is a Tax zone so its pretty hard for your car to get in if its not registered in china.

late nights and why not ask the local shops there, those guys are some really big time ballers there.

Bringing this back from the dead!
Z33_meister - are you still in HK and have you found any events or groups? Would love to hear about them if you have... Need my track time desperately...

I didn't look for events last year but the year before they were doing parking lot events that were covered in their version of option magazine or hot machine.

I fly through Hong Kong and go to Shenzhen every couple months on business. I would love to find any shops that might have stuff you can't find in the USA, but north of Hong Kong the 240 stuff is non-existent.

I have had a couple of my business contacts visit the US and I have given them a ride in my 240, and they are astounded. I have never seen a 240, 300z, 350 or 370 in China. I once saw a GTR from HK in Shenzhen, and it was wrapped in carbon.

I am going again in late April...

That track uses some of the actual streets iirc from when I was there for the Macau GP. So, not sure if that's really an option all the time.
Found a picture I took that kind of shows what I'm talking about:



How easy is it to get a car into one of the other SAR's? I had to go through customs after taking the ferry there from Hong Kong.

GTRs are now a dime a dozen in China. You're seeing Z34s as well, but ZERO S-chassis and pre-R35 GTRs.

suppose I best start stocking up on those terrible local car mags to find out how to get into events...

There are a couple R34/180sx in China...you just gotta know where to look

very rare

[daniellluquin]

So many skylines and crazy whips in HK I was out there for 3 months hanging around Tsim sha Tsui area a few r34s but I seen about 6 newer GTRs and 2 gt3 porches never seen a 240 lol heres some pics I snapped but im sure theres some action in the streets

[supersayianjim]

are they that poor over there?

[Seraphim38]

It is so expensive to live in hong kong that you have to be a millinioare to own a sincle square meter of space. I heard on my last visit that there is a 5month waiting list for new Cayennes, and panameras are over 5x the cost they are in the US.

Yea, for over $1 million US you get to own the equivalent of a small condo type house you would be able to buy in the US.

When I was there about 10 years ago, all I saw were either very nice expensive exotic type cars or wagon/minivan people transport taxi type cars.

My guess was that owning a car there must be SUPER expensive, so if you have the money to own a car at all you either go big or you go home because otherwise there would be no point to own a car AND if you own a minivan taxi-type car it’s because that’s how you make your living.

lots of fast cars but not any racing. You can hop on the ferry to Macau for the grand prix in november.( pretty cool event in a city course) the only drifting I have seen was in mainland and a d1 exhibition at the HK conference center by the airport. For any event make sure to get tickets well in advance because they sell out fast.

owning a new car is expensive, second hand cars are really cheap, the problem is figuring out where to park it ( thats not going to cost as much as the car).
