Drifting
Tengku Djan Ley also actively participates in drift racing, taking part in D1 Grand Prix-sanctioned events as well as the sister tournament of the Formula Drift series, the Formula Drift Asia. He participated in the D1 GP "World All-Star" tournament at Irwindale Speedway in 2006 and 2007, finishing 5th and 4th in the respective years. He also raced in the Formula Drift Asia series, winning the championship in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, he chose to take a break from Formula Drift Asia to join the All-Star Professional Thailand Drift Series with the Red Bull Drift Team Thailand, winning the championship with convincing fashion although his car is one of the least powerful in the series. Another of his notable performances in 2011 was during the Formula Drift Qatar event, where he drove his street legal Nissan 180SX and took out many notables drivers including Daijiro Yoshihara and Frederic Aasbo who were piloting more powerful purpose-built drift machines. His impressive form saw him finishing 2nd, just behind former Formula Drift champion Tanner Foust.

Famous quotes containing the word drifting:
“...expatriated Americans, even Henry James himself, have always seemed to me somewhat anchorless, rudderless, drifting before the wind.”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
“The fifties—they seem to have taken place on a sunny afternoon that asked nothing of you except a drifting belief in the moment and its power to satisfy.”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
“Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke—smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
