Lotus F1 Team to be a Malaysian operation

as i mentioned in FB, this would spark a new motorsport circus in the country. Being the premier karting club in malaysia, we would be playing an important role, or rather have the opportunity to do so.

a meeting should be convene by the committee to explore? 😉

i am not sure whether i am positive about this news as i feel that our leaders tend to often think of motor-sports at the top end of the food chain, but give very little consideration to the grassroots. i think the venture would be a positive one if the buzz and the “circus” as rizal describes it trickles down to the grassroots like my-kart.

at our level, what we most need are:

1/ good equipment & facilities
2/ good coverage
3/ support on safety
4/ a clear progression path
5/ support on talent development

i do not think these are that costly to do: we just need a few angel investors to help do this.

happy to discuss further though.

your thoughts?
