As promised, our Champion Couch Racer was handed a car to race at Round 4 of Saturday Night Fever.

[...]
No this is not our Drift Bitch, but the Couch Racers brought their own cars as well! The boys, and lady, of Ignition.my, got together this past weekend to show the finalist of the Couch Racer competition how much fun doing it sideways can be. We also took this opportunity to run in the latest [...]
