Car enthusiasts among us would jump at any opportunity to race at legendary tracks like Monza in Italy or the Nurburgring in Germany.
However, a local automobile lover probably felt that he didn't need a trip to Europe to hone his driving skills. He managed to recreate that track experience by whizzing around the bendy turns of South Buona Vista Road in his Toyota AE86, a car popularised by the Japanese manga series Initial D where the main character navigates this car on the fictional mountain Mount Akina.
Known as "99 bends", translated from Hokkien, it's a road with quite a reputation due to the many twisty turns and blind corners it has.

99 Bends street driving in the #AE86 (I almost always double clutch on upshifts and rev-match on downshifts.) Put on your earpiece for maximum #4age experience. #fyp #sgtiktok #initiald #99bends #ae86singapore
