Jakarta, October 7, 2024 – Subaru Indonesia proves the motorsport DNA of its products through the victory of the Subaru BRZ in the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series. Ziko Harnadi from the Subaru Garasi Drift Team successfully secured first place in the PRO class at the 5th round of the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series, held on October 5-6, 2024, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD City, Tangerang. This achievement continues Subaru’s more than 50-year history of involvement in motorsport and follows Ziko Harnadi’s victory at the D1GP Southeast Asia in July 2024. Plaza Auto Mega’s active participation in competitive drifting was also highlighted by the Subaru BRZ’s involvement in the Women Drift Challenge and the Subaru WRX Wagon serving as the Official Safety Car for the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series.

At the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series, the Subaru BRZ driven by Ziko Harnadi demonstrated the car’s performance, precision, agility, and power in an intense drift battle. The combination of Subaru’s technical expertise and the skills of Ziko Harnadi and the Garasi Drift Team worked perfectly, resulting in a well-deserved victory. Built on the Subaru BRZ 2024 platform, the "BRZIKO" was specifically tuned for the PRO-class drift championship, combining precise handling capabilities with superior balance and responsiveness, giving drivers a competitive edge in drift competitions.

Arie Christopher, Chief Executive Officer of Subaru Indonesia, said, “Ziko Harnadi’s victory from the Subaru Garasi Drift Team, securing the first podium at the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series, is an extraordinary achievement for us and proves the Subaru BRZ platform for the PRO-class drift championship. We are proud to see the commitment and hard work of the Garasi Drift team and Plaza Subaru, resulting in the highest podium in this international drift championship. Additionally, our participation in the Women Drift Challenge with the “stock” Subaru BRZ proves that with a Subaru BRZ, anyone can compete in motorsport events like the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series, regardless of age or gender, reflecting the spirit of ‘Anyone can win, enjoy, and Drift with Subaru.’”

Akbar Rais, Founder of the Indonesia Drift Series, commented, “The 5th round of the 2024 Indonesia Drift Series was one of the most competitive events we’ve ever held, with the most participants from three different countries. Not only that, but we were also thrilled with the presence of automotive enthusiasts who gave incredible support throughout the event. Their enthusiasm created an amazing atmosphere and proved that drifting continues to grow as one of the favorite motorsport branches in Indonesia. We hope that Subaru’s presence in the Indonesia Drift Series & Women Drift Challenge will continue to serve as a platform for local and international drifters to grow and compete at the highest level. I invite all Drift fans to attend the final round of the Indonesia Drift Series, which will take place on November 2-3!”
