Unofficial Go Kart Race championship by Team HSP

[gamenoob]

Yes indeed it was ... luckily the weather this morning was not that hot ....It was a good 1st session but unlucky for HSPI to drop from the top 10 to 13th spot ..... :frown: ..

Managed to tale a few shots but had to switch position after a spin-off was too close for comfort. ... thank you to the tyre barriers :top: ...

My bad... we qualified 13th and during the final, I managed to catch up from 13th to 10th position but after 10-12 laps, the concentration was tough and the heat inside the suits at 12noon is searing.... Visor fogged up and oil sputters on the visor totally ruined the concentration...and back to 13th position... or worst...

Sign of us needing some good physical exercise workout to build on stamina... We end the day race at 11th position. But HSP2 did us proud! Qualified 17?? but final position at 9th! Bravo!

Thank you boss.

All part of the strategy boss. We also have secret formula. We use special lube supplied by GheeMaster. It was a wet track and our kart was very twitchy and lower grip. Thats why first driver job was to maintain position and avoid joining the messy scramble. First driver also stay on track longer to avoid the traffic jam at the refueling pit.

Second driver would have entered when track is dryer and more grip and apply the secret formula Ghee as now we can use more effectively. Ramsing for a first timer did excellent with very consistent lap time.
Third driver is when max grip is achieved and most other karts without ghee would start to lose their lube. Soon Tiang even after 1 year not karting and never practicing on the CRG did very well already.

BTW Soon tiang used to drive BMW as well till he turned french

Next round we target higher as we shall put in more training sir and lose our extra KG.

I had a lot of fun at the Enduro race. Was a great experience. 30 mins of driving a kart makes our runs like a walk in the park. I learnt a lot from the race too. Learnt not to be stupid and spin out again! But for the spin, HSP1 would have been 10th at the least.

No matter what ... HSP1 is most pleased with a placing of 11th. At least we got some decent points.

If I find out who the jerk was that dumped his cushion onto the track I kick his butt. Stupid move as it was in such a tricky part of the track.

The chasing and overtaking was wonderful. You chase hard, you catch up, then you make your move with success. Only to lose it one or two turns later. Racing is not simpe, there is so so much more to learn.

Like I said before. Dun tok ... Turun padang la. It's a humbling experience.

Bet you didnt know reason why we put Ramsing as second driver as his job was to secretly ghee up some parts of the track. Didnt you notice more spins happens after that. Which should not be the case as there was more grip as it was hotter :driver:

So everyone recovered yet from the race? Still got jelly hands?

Frankly, I am ok after the race. Very mild sore back as it could be due to lousy sitting position. Must learn to sit in the kart properly.

My problem was when I got out of the kart. Can feel the heat building up fast! Must arrange for cold cold shower the next time!

did you guys manage to organise the hand signs and the special pit personnels?

Hand sign got, special pits personnel no time. When I did my stint, after 7-8 laps my pit wall crew all disappeared!!! I was abandoned. Next time I sabo them back.

It's crazy to go round and round a track for 30 mins la. I think we all did an average of 26 laps thereabouts ... But it's fun o race wheel to wheel.

After I passed the kart to Tianci, I have to sit down and recover and cool down....I cant even stay under the tent with the sun searing through...I have to go and douse my self with a cold mineral water which seems to work wonder...... The 2 cans of 100plus does little to help..to chill down...

Tianci, we definitely need some crew support la... 3rd driver is tough job as he already heated up under the sun running around for pit and signage... we need to keep all drivers as cool as possible before the race start....the gang who suppose to come and cheer us on after their weekend drive, also no show...... cheh....:smokin:

 

[jeffreyewe]

[tIANcI]
