    RM200 for last year’s karters? can’t be right! Don’t mind karts being shit and all, just that it is too much of a lottery right now. And RM200 for what is essentially a gamble is a bit too much.

    anyway – will check further. still envy those guys who got the Formula BMW test…

    [quote=iguana] Really nuts! N the karts there like s**t! I really can’t believe it paying rm200 for a 4 stroke kart[/quote]

    Dude,
    RM 200 for two 5 qualifying races (5 laps per race was it?) and not sure that you will be in for the final ten at the end of the day, that’s not encouraging for new talents to come forward is it? It smells like if you are good than you can afford RM200. This is a sure away of reducing the competition and more coming to my-kart races. Fazz, look out man, new inquiries on my-kart races is on the rise!

    Bro,
    Look at the following extract form PanGlobal website:

    ENTRY FEES
    • Rd. 1 to Rd. 10: RM100.00 per entry for any of the Qualifier rounds (for first time participants in 2005).
    • Rd.1 to Rd. 10: RM50.00 per entry for any of the Qualifier rounds for repeat participants for the 2005 series
    • GRAND FINALS: FREE for all qualifiers of the GRAND FINAL
    • All eligible entries for each Qualifier round are accepted on a first-come-first-served basis and when any Qualifier round is oversubscribed, the Organisers will assign oversubscribed entries to any of the subsequent rounds.

    Now, that dont look like RM 200 at all and RM 50 for repeats… ok no?

    Its only round 1 but would like to see more mykarters show off their skills in the coming rounds. Suggest that mykarters to spread out over the coming rounds to increase the chance to be in the final five of each round. Happy racing!!!

    I will probably give it another shot this year. Although this year the Sunway races will be fewer since they are going round the country.

    Unfortunately, I don’t think it is going to be so easy. The kart balloting is the key here. Because if you draw a bad kart you do not have any chance to make up for that. I remember Hafidz last year was very pissed to draw a crappy kart and could not qualify. His complaint was proven by the top qualifier drawing the same kart for the final. And despite starting on pole as the best qualifier, he promptly within one lap dropped to the back of the field.

    Anyway – Thevan, could you let us know how much you had to pay given you were a 2004 participant as well?

    Fazz, towards the end of last year, there were about a dozen new karts purchased and in fact was used for the Grand Finals and a few qualifying finals before that. It was unfortunate that Huffiz and others in the earlier rounds were using them “scrapyard karts” I would say. The new karts should still be in reasonably good condition cos its not for rental although there is no guarantee. Mykart front runners should not have too much trouble qualifying for the G Finals I dare say. Go for it dudes!!!

    I was talking to Razak, Azmee and a few others about being keen to to give a go for this year’s Pan Global Alex Yoong F1 Driver Search (PGAYF1DS). All seem to agree that mykarters should spread themselves out to theoretically increase their chances of qualifying for the Grand Finals in December. Some thought of participating in races to be held in Ipoh, Penang or KT on the assumption that these places would not offer to much competition, although I would’nt count on that.
    I suggest a max of 5 mykarters for each meet? (a little bit of arrogance here). So, maybe those interested to have a shot in PGAYF1DS could register on this Forum. Razak wants to attack the Penang field and Azmee for Ipoh. Anyone keen on making a trip to KT than? Wonder why they have not included Kuala Pilah in the list. Dont they know that the extremely twisty S’ban – KP road is where many talented F1 wannabees ( Alex Yoong included) got their skills from. Ask him laaa…..!!
