Local Driver Races Like a Pro on Singapore’s “99 Bends”
Picture this: you’re a gear‑shifting, turbo‑charged fan on a sun‑shiny day. Dreaming of Monza, Nürburgring, or any European speed test? Nope—our protagonist decided to stay local, and the Nurburgring‑ish thrill was right in the heart of Singapore:
Who’s the Bold Maverick?
- Tehzisheng – the TikTok star who turned his 114‑second video into a headline‑worthy showcase.
- Vehicle of choice: a Toyota AE86, the car that stole the spotlight in the manga Initial D.
- Time stamp? Unconfirmed, but it made waves on May 17.
Why South Buona Vista is a No‑Name Hung‑Out
The road, nicknamed “99 bends” (a Hokkien twist that translates to “escape zone”), is infamous for its:
- Explosive loop‑de‑loops.
- Blind corners that can make a cautious driver do a double‑take.
- Occasional cameo of mishaps—remember the 2021 Suzuki Swift skidding onto the barrier?
Tehzisheng’s vehicle fins his way from Kent Ridge Road to the serpentine South Buona Vista, where the turns feel like a linguistic maze, and every second is a test of skill.
Three‑Cam Chronicles
His shaky‑shot trio includes:
- The road‑ahead camera showing the gnarly track.
- The gear lever that slices through the twists with surgical precision.
- The pedals that keep the throttle on the sweet spot.
Even without verified speeds, some viewers were ever‑unsettled. Here’s what you’d find in the comment string:
“Bro, please think about other road users; they might have kids or the elderly. They love the ones they drive for. Cheers.”
“Zero sense of responsibility. Might get people killed.”
What’s the Verdict?
Whether you’re rooting for a safe, “no‑speeding‑tight” fun or a sheer adrenaline rush, Tehzisheng put the 99 bends on the map for street‑style motorsports. His loop‑over‑loops got 73,000 views and 163 comments—including one hard‑hat advocate who was offended as a great driver should be mindful of all road users.
Happy racing, whether you use a real track or the very real roads in your city—just remember: speed responsibly.
Tehzisheng’s Shoe‑Less Stunts Leave Audiences Speechless
While most netizens were busy scrolling through memes, a wave of folks stopped to stare at Tehzisheng’s wheel‑turning wizardry—despite the fact that he wasn’t even wearing shoes (or, to be exact, didn’t have any on his feet at all).
- Wow Factor: “His steering was so precise you’d swear he had a telepathic dashboard!”
- Mind‑Blown: “Honestly, who even needs shoes when you’ve got that kind of skill?”
- Question Mark: “Was he using socks, or was it a pure, barefoot maneuver?”
When a White Toyota AE86 Took a Sharp Turn
Back in June 2017, a shiny white Toyota AE86 found itself executing a head‑first dive straight into the road barriers on a slip road feeding into the East Coast Parkway Expressway (ECP), right on Bedok South Avenue 1.
The Incident
- Drivers were left scratching their heads as the car veered off the ramp.
- The vehicle was quickly towed away by the authorities.
- Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Why the AE86 Matters
Young car enthusiasts still recall the legendary AE86 from the racing drama Initial D. Its lightweight chassis and turbo‑charged 1.6 L engine made it a fan‑favorite among drift and performance circles.
