Round 3 Video Clips

Whoa!! hope this is e first & last such incident happened to mykart members..
Glad he is ok.. btw, Fast action, Fazz.. 🙂 nvr thot u cud sprint that fast!

Folks,

The message I have advised all the time to my kids and friends is to be 200% alert to avoid wheel contact….motorsports is not a contact sport like Rugby !

Thanks Yazid, that video clip in slow motion showed the rear wheel lifting into the air, than sliding sideways and finally overturn. It looked like his rear wheel has ran over the adjacent rear which caused the lift. There is no point pointing fingers but the most important thing to remember is every driver must try their best to avoid wheel contact.

Fazz is fast……yes, his own experience has something to do with that.

agreed. karting is not a contact sport. even a slight wheel on wheel contact can easily flip a kart. what is clear from the clip is that it was a racing incident. 3 into a tight corner won’t go.

my observations:
+ 3 karts were turning into the slow corner
+ the middle one was slightly behind
+ the middle one was out of visibility as far as the front outside kart is concerned
+ the front outside kart turned in tighter than expected and forced the middle kart into a contact
+ the wheel to wheel contact caused the flip

as i have said before, first lap action is always nail biting stuff. every start i get nervous that nothing bad happens. my own experience – first corner, first lap, first race – was not one i’d like anyone to go through.

in my incident, nobody came to my rescue and i had to turn the kart upright myself. the race was not stopped, and i was even thinking of wanting to continue. only then i realised something was not right with my shoulder…

Brader,

K3 Final B got ah?……wanna see how the she ate them up for lunch!….hehehe

[quote=yazidm]I am not sure bro. Let me check. I remebered that I took only the Final A and 1st Qualifying from each classes but who knows if I made mistake it may well be recorded. Semalam was a tiring day for me, took Ikhwan to Sepang and wow it was like a Race Day. So many teams were they trying out. You should have been there. Swisshutless team was like a benchmark, As the team went out some of the others went out too. Thanks for encouragement and guidance that he received from both you & tarmizi. Ray was happy with his performance yesterday as he can now pair with Hasif very well as a team.

Anyway….

The K2 Qualifying 1 Group A

Few more coming… but not today. Have to be up north until Wed. That few more videos are yet to be downloaded to my PC at home. Patient…[/quote]
