If I may add :
Pricing ok
Time keeping….MUST improve – on karter’s side.As no offence & reference to anyone – we must arrest the latecoming, the I pay – so u must treat me like king attitude, the lack of mechanical understanding and fair racecraft, the lack of respect to machine & fellow competitors and even kart operators ; to maintain MyKart’s image. We need everyone to make this happen.
i think the club must foster positive attributes amongst drivers & members & the above are just a selection of issues we can address.
Ok, let me start the ball rolling!
1) Siemens Malaysia Sdn Bhd
2) Mr Rainer Althoff / CEO Siemens Malaysia
3) Same as 2) +60 (3) 7952-5000 or +60 (12) 202-1038
4) Siemens Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Level 1 Reception, CP Tower, No.11 Jln 16/11, Pusat Dagang Seksyen 16, 46350 PJ.
5) MNC dealing in power & transmission, telco, automation, IT, automotive, medicalRainer is a keen driver himself and knows me personally. Please mention my real name as required. I am quite confident he will support the races, likely driving himself too. Have invited on previous occassions but he travels frequently….
great! hope they can make this successfully!
Just one note on the Yamaha engine. This engine is very popular and raced widely esp in Australia for the last 15years.
I never understood why it did not catch on here but maybe the fact that the spares were controlled by Mofaz could mean something…..
The clutch assembly cost >RM1000…….which is consistent with the fact why Elite 100cc karts have no clutch and why CityKarting went PRD.
If Rosedi has direct import rights for the engine spares – this will go far….
[quote=Huffiz][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.[/quote]
circle bigger and bigger? u mean understeering?
whatever it is, it has to fit the track as well – not only layout ( fast, slow corners ) but also track grip!
To not confuse anyone – there is NO SUCH THING as the best chassis for everyone. Everyone drives differently. Hence my advise is always – TEST the kart you want to buy, esp used ones! ( if not, walk away… )
Then learn to fine tune it to your liking which means experimenting and spending the track time! Easy rite?

[quote=Nohad]Thanks for the info, Jules.
Guess need to sit down with uncle Ng & Wai Leong to gather a bit more information. Need to check with them also and see whether they offer basic kart set-up course or not.
Hmmm.. how about asking them to set-up a course on basic kart, set-ups & kart driving skills (as earlier planned). [/quote]
You buy kart from them – it will come set-up to your dimensions and settings for Shah Alam track.
For newbies, getting the consistent times of plus minus 0.2 sec will take you months of practise, unless your surname Scuhmacher…..once you that consistent & physically strong enugh, then you will benefit from setup….
someone go check the swiss hutless thingy and report!
to complicate the situation – within the same kart brand, there will be some design which is more suited for soft compound tyres and some, harder compound tyres.
Tube sizing, shaft size and the ability to stiffen up the chassis all play a part – on top of the different geometry of the bends.
My advise is – drive the kart you want to buy and see if you like it. To go that extra 0.5 sec ( assuming you are already that consistent ) requires lots of experimenting and laps. chamber, toe-in, front tract, rear track and front/rear stiffness are all variables you can play with….not forgetting tyre pressures.
The comments on parts is correct but then again – most things are interchangeable, unless you have trick brakes like a Brembo on a CRG, a 6 pot MBA etc, or if you insist ori parts all the time.
Chassis tuning is a black art and what you set in the morning may not work in the afternoon when the track has more rubber…..I dun even want talk abt rain although that’s not so difficult.
my best advise is buy from someone who knows the start settings of your kart, and u tune from there – hence buying from a shop is easiest for this aspect.
I think the kart crash video already posted once by Patrick so there’s nothing too shocking or new.
Karting, like any speed sports is a sports for the level headed, takes discipline and requires respect with the correct saftey gear.
did you think it was any different?
shaved by other karts……WOW!
but yes, safety first. gaya pun mesti ada!
PLEASE buy this suit, for those who can fit!
from safety point of view – I dun think nite racing is a good idea…..a bit surprised that A1 takes this approach just for TV rights cos if F1 is already doing it at a sane hour locally and the TV just have to follow suit….
I cannot imagine many tracks have sufficient nite lighting…….ie. Sepang or even Sentul ( Indonesia ).
Let’s wait & see.
Yes, it was an exciting race and for Malaysia – Alex did well in the sprint race. Was hoping that the German driver be penalised for passing under yellow since he passed Alex just in front of Vertsappen’s limping car……sadly, no penalty.
In the feature race, alex had a wonderful start from 6th and jumped to 2nd. sadly, he could not hold on and his later mistake of braking too late, dropped him to 6th.
A bad pitstop and later a drive thru penalty ( dunno why ) sealed his efforts to the 16th placing.
To my opinion, A1 has a lot to improve BUT also a lot of POTENTIAL to offer. I am sure it will have many more fans and the formula will generate support from sponsors and countries as well. Hopefully our very yellow Malaysian car will find more sponsors since the car looked very void of any logos……
Last of all, the other Indian driver – Ermann Ibrahim is a product of City Karting & having a rich/motorsports backed father helps too!
Go Karting, Go A1, Go MyKart!
Pls buy this….RM200 is a steal and it’s an OMP, Italian made.
I m too big, otherwise wun be posting here…..
the leader & co-leader of K2 should coach….I am not qualified, as the results speak for itself……
since u ask me….sigh.
K2 & K3 fundamentally is the same…..different is K3 needs more smooth cos no power to hide ur mistakes-loh. K2 just need more balls…he he he ( Deanna & Kiki’s case dun apply here okie here…) Actually, K2 emphasise more on braking also cos the speed higher….
aiyah, all of you know how to drive…just practise but perfect practise makes perfection….not the other way ok?
