///M Owners Club Indonesia Skills Day

The smell of burning rubber with the mixed sound of screaming engines and screeching tires is music to every petrolhead's ears. We love seeing great looking, exotic, rare cars going sideways and revving their engine up to the redline. It's simply beautiful, and the ///M Owners Club Indonesia (MOCI) Skills Day held on February 16th is one of the rare events where you could see all that.

It was more of a gathering rather than a contest, but the event had drag races, slaloms, and freestyle. Alongside MOCI, the Supercar Club Indonesia (SCCi) was also taking part in this gathering, making the whole thing more epic.

The super-engineered Germans, designed to be precise to the millimeter.

BMW's latest ///M masterpiece. Straight-6cylinder at the front, rear-wheel drive, making it the perfect sports car. A bit like the old E46 M3 we think (which also used straight-6), however this is more modern.

As we've said before, the SCCi was also taking part in this event, so it was no surprise when we saw the exotic Italians making the whole event more exciting.

 The Germans may be more precise, but the Italians simply look better.

 Italy's mad orange-colored bull meets the more sensible German supercars. Although the new Aventador has signs that Audi was involved in making the car, the new Aventador is still as Italian as the first Miura.

 

Fancy a high-performance machine such as Lambos and Ferraris but don't want to deal with the impracticality? Worry not, the all-rounder, practical, twin-turbo V8 BMW M5 will solve all your problems.

The Prancing Horses are ready to show what they've got. These Horses were made for performance, it runs in their blood.

The famous McLaren MP4-12C also showed up. The British rival of the Ferrari 458 has the racing pedigree and it's keen to show what it's got.

"Ready...Set...Go!"

The McLaren doesn't use the usual roll-bars you'd find in other supercars, instead it has fluid-suspension (we don't really understand either) and it's all computerized. All four wheels are independent from one to another, making this car great at cornering, so it should do well in a slalom competition.

This guy is serious about downforce, as you can see from the gigantic spoiler, he obviously needs more downforce on his M3.

The glorious BMW M3 CSL. It was a limited edition of the standard M3, only 1.400 of these were built. It's lighter and more powerful than the standard M3.

Despite weighing nearly 2-tons, the BMW M5 could still pull a spectacular slide. The laws of physics doesn't apply to the BMW M5.

AMG Mercs are full of torque. The V8 in AMG Mercs are just bonkers, a little push on the gas pedal and suddenly the rear wheels are spinning. We like that.

That's about it from the ///M Owners Club Indonesia Skills Day at PRJ Kemayoran. Lots of epic cars, loud engines, and screeching tires. Truly a fantastic way to spend your day. We're hoping that events like this will be held more often in the future.
