ParticipantA slightly better alternative strikes me – Nรผrburgring aka THE RING!
With EUR 20 you can blast your kapchai through 100 corners or so![img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/Nordschleife.png[/img]
Details are here: http://www.nuerburgring.de/home.324.0.htmlSome interesting youtube clips of Top Gear on THE RING
See how Sabine schmitz lapped the Ring in a van!

ParticipantThat’s a great idea…I think we have a slowly but surely growing market for this…and why not..a lot of us already hang out together socially anyway..so instead of going to Fazz’s house, we can go to club instead!
For us at my-KART – it may start with getting a small club area, with a view to getting our own “club house” on the premises of CK perhaps?
But going for a full fledged country club would probably mean we need to have that somewhere around Sepang, and in collaboration with other car enthusiast and motorsports clubs/organisers like BMW Club, Alfa, HPC, etc…
Of course, as AJK Makan…I’ll ensure the food’s top class.. ๐

ParticipantOkay. Time to put money in mouth.
If I do this, how many of you will join? To elaborate, an organisation I am atached to is looking at a PD located CAR track…..and this club thing can be easily done.
Keen? If yes, who?

ParticipantBtw, this idea is NOT NEW.
See the Ascari Race Resort on http://www.ascari.net
Even Jeremy Clarkson and the TOP GEAR has used this….

sounds interesting…. however, PD is location-wise away from the where the target market (middle income) is…. however, if it is a premium club (like the one above), then perhaps it may attract those people.
i would like somewhere near the klang valley. any chance of this?

Participantfor those who just starting to think about driving their perodua or saga up and down ulu ayam, please do upgrade your brake systems. i suggest ventilated cross-drilled disc would do fine. mintex brake pads preferred.
HAHAHAHHAHA.

ParticipantWell, given the price of real estate in Klang Valley – I think any projects which need huge parcels of land such as a race track will incur monumental expenditure to just acquire the land. So in reality, there is NO CHANCE. Just look at what PKNS did to Batu Tiga….its a another featureless housing estate…
On the choice of this proposed facility, PD is not too far from KL and the location south is also ideal for our richer SG neighbours. So that’s a compromise and ideal for business. Its afterall, not too far from F1 circuit or KLIA too.
Then of course, there’s also the issue of land cost….which needless to say supports the location on its own accord.
On a separate area, some of you may know there is Kampung Gajagh car/bike track in Perak….close to Teluk Intan and that can be converted to a resort too, if you have the cash…..
In the end, any idea need funding and marketing sense to make it economically viable and sustainable in the long run. Its ppl like CFO Fazz who spoils the fun…he he but then that’s his job!
