Halloo! yum cha tonight on ar?…can’t wait to hear tales of your latest exploits and pursuits to lighten up the heavy K2 talk!
[quote=edwynlow]i dont mind remaining at K2 exclusive just to make the quota. anyway, all i want is close racing, not one here and the other one there..[/quote]
Yea, I want consistent close racing too. Hate it when we get those crappy karts, nothing else to do but to go for a Sunday drive.[quote=Ammar Shahbana]exclusive k2 karts all the way.[/quote]
This should put the fun of close racing in K2 again.
Btw, exclusive K2 karts doesn’t just you have a more equal kart but you get to learn to tweak the handling of the kart (eg..play around with tyre pressures).
Yea, agreed…. We’ll learn more about the dynamics of our kart and how we can change settings to suit our driving style. Now, it’s about trying to change our driving style to suit the kart(crappy or not).
I find it to be a bad idea to run both the exclusive-K2 and rental-K2 concurrently. These same-category splits will cannibalise each other and may dramatically reduce the number of participants for BOTH of the categories. So you’ll get neither here, nor there in terms of number of karts on the track.
I for one definitely think k2 is vital as a stepping stone.. and willing to pay a lil more… but proposed fee RM200??? the math just isnt feasible tho, to me it doesnt even add up..even the current prices makes me wonder…even tho its vital to have K2.. whats the point for having K2 if its more expensive than K1? just isnt logical.. currently K2 drivers are already paying the most per cc .. should nego with ck about their pricing structure….
Facts & Figures
K1 = RM190. Cost per cc = RM1.52
Current K2 = RM170 , difference to K1 in cc is 25cc. Cost per cc = RM1.70
K3 = RM90, difference in cc is 20cc when compared to K2. Cost per cc = RM1.125
Proposed K2 = RM200, cost per cc is a staggering RM2 :SWe are already currently paying ck too much.. RM170 is already a super steep price for a machine that needs more medical attention than my grandma 😛
The pricing for K2 should be in BETWEEN K1 and K3 whether its exclusive or not. If not, you might as well expand K1 and scrap K2 which ONLY costs RM20 extra per person which is still technically cheaper than 100cc… A more logical approach is to revise the price. A revised price of around RM1.20 – 1.30 per cc for the current K2 karts or RM1.4 – 1.45 per cc for exclusive would make more sense, it should never be more expensive or equal in costs to 125cc.. sorry just my opinion.. hope u guys can use these points to push for a better pricing structure for us! CheerS!

…it is very unlikely (if not impossible) to run both K2 systems concurrently cos it is technically NOT EQUAL with regards to performance and price.
