Designer & Car Guy
Hi, I am Lucas (Yongcheng Toh). I am a product designer based in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. When I am not designing interfaces, I am probably out for a drive in my Miata, building Gundam kits, or racing in Gran Turismo and Forza Horizon.
Outside of Work
JDM Cars & Design Philosophy
Inspired by Initial D and racing games, I fell in love with Japanese Domestic Market cars. My dream car? The Nissan Skyline R32 GTR, an icon of performance and engineering excellence.
I own a Mazda Miata ND2, and honestly, it is not the fastest car out there. But it taught me something more valuable: the beauty of lightweight design and the pure connection between driver and road. No distractions, just feedback.
Sim Racing & Real Drives
I built the sim rig myself, drew the frame in AutoCAD, drove down to an aluminium shop for the extrusions, and assembled it at home. I used a Thrustmaster TGT wheel and a load-cell pedal. I was in the top 10% globally back in 2020, but I do not grind ranked anymore.
These days, when I want a drive, I would rather hop into the Miata, drop the hardtop, and listen to the engine. Laguna Seca and Suzuka are still my favourite tracks in the sim. Visiting Suzuka in real life is on my bucket list.
Story-Rich Games
Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077. I love games with worlds you can get lost in.
Model Building
Cars and Gundam robots. Building models is my meditation: slow, hands-on, and quiet.
Movies
The Matrix, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Last Holiday, A Man Called Otto. There is a pattern here. I keep coming back to movies about people who finally break out of their routines and actually live.
Let Us Talk
I am always up for conversations about design, cars, or anything in between.
