[quote=OSFlanker] Trust me, at Sepang track down the back straights, it takes a lot of balls to brake late and it’s not something which you can do even if someone do tell you to brake late![/quote]
You dun need brakes at the last turn. :))
The idea is to maintain speed.
Just before the corner, lift off trottle 50% and slightly pitch the tail so you aim at the exit apex. once the kart is pointing into direction, slam it!
All this apply halfway thru the last corner.
Once u get this right, there’s no need to complain about your kart no power…[quote=saa73][quote=saa73]If I’m not mistaken Team MAA HPC Racing car 33) finished 5th in Class A and 16th overall, which was a truly amazing result considering on Friday we were concerned about qualifying for the race!
My-Karters formed the backbone of this team, from team manager Brian Eravelly, driver Ashraff & James Veerappen, Yusnee, Alvin, Jules, Angeline, Siak Jin, Huffiz & myself working in various pit crew roles throughout the night and morning. Also spotted on the pit wall was my-karter Steward Loke working for Cartrade, and of course Luen and Ramsey Sabelt were driving for their respective teams.
Anyway it was a great experience for me working alongside Jules on the pitwall communications to the driver. It was 11 hours on the job for me (32 hours awake overall!!) , with a 1 hour break between 6am-7am to catch some sleep and to change shoes as I got wet around 3am due to the thunderstorm! Yup, our TV monitor also got wet and that was one of the more memorable moments, with the best moment being Ashraff’s hand gesture signal around 11am that got the entire pit crew suited up and on alert, despite the fact that Ashraff only wanted to look at the engine! We were a little confused when he sped off and did respectable lap times, and deduced that there was no trouble at all!
Anyway, I’ll post some of the unofficial photos on my fotopages shortly!Well done to all My-Karters who participated in the MME, and to Brian for a job well done in getting Team MAA HPC Racing a great result![/quote]

Otherwise, start them on PS2 or PC car simulation games….[/quote]
totally agree! EA sports F1 2002 (PC-based) is the most accurate simulation game ever.
played for 3 years before started karting. proven results.
even F1 drivers practices on simulation games2:42 is pretty quick! are they using racing slicks? they don’t lasts very long. regular pit-stops could put you way behind backmarkers.
if they use those silverstone partly sponsored tyres, i’d be impressed. got to start save some money for next next next MME!
[quote=sabelt][quote=luen]how much $$$ that we are talking about roughly?[/quote]
U need a team? RM5k per driver. RS Auto sponsored by NASA oil. Owner of the car need another 2 experience drivers.
Why dont you have a talk with Akina Teo? He’s quite an experience driver but expects someone to offer him a seat for free.
[/quote]pay and drive? tats cool.. dun mind 5 grand if it’s a scooby :))
[quote=Jules]Huffiz, you like kart which has a very direct steering feel rite? these karts you listed turn in well……with little effort.[/quote]
wats the pros and cons compared to non-direct feel? does it perform well with soft tyres?
unlike arrow karts. arrow tends to circle bigger and bigger. i guess arrow good for exit speeds then.
i like Tony Kart and CRG chassis (base on rentals). suits me well. dunno why.
anyone can share wat are the characteristics of these karts?
[quote=TheFazz][quote=Huffiz]You want a videographer? I’ll bring my gears along on the 10th :)[/quote]
yes please.[/quote]
bro, my video camera screwed up that day. camera head dirty. didn’t expect that to happen. my appologies. i will get it fixed for the next race
crazy stuff man.. tires so sticky can “corner lipat” on 2 wheels
can we download the movies from the site?

Bro,
RM 77 / mth for 24 months, after that how much per month?…..rm 99?Also, I am now on the rm 88/ mth program. How?
[/quote]
yep rm99 with modem. yours is rm88 w/out modem
i think rm77 with modem offer is for new subscribers.
Wai Leong metioned that 12Kg is 0.7secs on a 100cc karts is i’m not mistaken. Slower karts like 80cc should do close to 1 full second logically.
Any say?
I did 1min09++ (65kg) before enduro, but Haslina (45kg) from Mix doubles clocked 200th/sec faster than me.
Laptimes is one thing, but winning races is a whole lot of things. Knowing how to pass, slip stream, drift, cuck angin, attack, pressure, defend, close door, slingshot, early out, etc. In many cases, the same rental karts differ in performance everyday. There’s no real benchmark for rental karts here.
