[quote=mikko]Driver is just as sexy as kart ;).[/quote]
http://www.gamershideout.com😀 Lol! Hope you don’t mind Mikko just kidding around with Luen. Anyway thanks for the tips during my-kart round 5. My brain got the info but to apply it on track still needs a lot of practice. Yup fitness is obviously not one of my virtues so I was just fading away lap after lap. I really hate ignorant people that thinks motor sports is easy. Will be at Elite on the 31st and wish you all the best!!!

http://www.gamershideout.comTai Ko Luen no offence but which one sexy? 😛
Dear Michael just go to the bike supplier shops behind Sentul police station and choose there. A shop by the name Yulite is recommended. Im sure you still don’t have a suit yet so better to budget. After all it’s just a helmet. Unless you really want an expensive, FIA approved, DOT, Driver Replica, then by all means spend the cash brother. After that sure damn gaya one. 😉
[quote=timmsm]don’t tempt me…. my nosecone is pretty vulnerable right now and can’t take the excitement 😛
[/quote]Yes oh yes do get exited! LOL!!!
http://www.gamershideout.comGosh I’m drooling already. Sob! even if i get rid of my 2 Xbox360’s, PS3 and bike still cannot afford. I’m sure it’s a good deal though. Hey Lobsta maybe it’s time for you to get a new toy!? Then can sell me that swiss hottie of yours! 😛
[quote=timmsm]Citykart sell SOL motorbike helmets for approx RM350 or you can try Pertama Complex for a wider selection and price range.
If you are setting your sights higher, you can get an Arai / OMP helmet, but for a far higher price tag… Rosedie Autosports sell OMP and if I remember correctly CK also had some for sale.
RayRossi is the my-kart bargain hunter… Raymond, wanna share your experience in helmet shopping? [/quote]
http://www.gamershideout.comOk let’s see Edwyn Buaya :shy: is correct. You have to decide if you wan’t a driving helmet or a riding one. If your budget is tight then I think a SOL is your answer. Err… I’m not sure about the price but I can probably get it for you at about RM250 to RM300. I got my Arai replica (pirate!) in Indonesia for about RM65 lol!!! As for Pertama Complex I think that bike stores which I will not name there are selling quite costly even compared to Singapore (That is if you can get through the blood thirsty Malaysian Customs 😛 ). Plus the SOL iridium or smoked visors are easily available a very low price. I got my white colour SOL without the free t-shirt and I didn’t care as I have too much ballast to fit in it :shy: . There are other designs too so if you have any questions just call me 012-3198646, Cheers 🙂
[quote=Jules]We all can dream – but can I ask if anyone of us are THAT TALENTED enough to be given a SPONSORSHIP?
Are we disciplined enough to train DAILY to be one, brave enough to make this a career, hungry enough to race at every chance ( any class ), bothered enough to even start learning from very basic ( ie, cleaning ur kart, equipment )? I did some of the above and still am no where 🙁
You need all this even when you have a super rich father to buy you all the rides. At end, its a SPORTS – not a dream, not a ego ride, not a DECENT female attracting pursuit. PERIOD.
In Europe, the boys start like most of us – fun karts, then private karts, racing on club, then national and then european level. The advantage they have is – they have races practically 50% of the year. So they get lotsa practise, lotsa racing and lotsa track time. Be assured, many dun make the cut too to higher levels. Its only whenyou win enough, sponsor take note and then want to sponsor you. Not everyone ends up like kimi, lewis, button, heiki and they are all kart champions. You heard of Bas Lammers? Super talented, super dedicated ( runs 10km daily, works in SH factory and track operator ) but still no where today, as I heard. ( Left sport or so I was told…. )
Talking abt dedication, tho Europe is not that big but some travel & sacrfice a lot for their pursuit. In regards to travelling – imagine in Australia….they drive for more than 8 hours, reach track – go race, finish race SUnday nite, father drive home – u sleep in car and next monday, go school. Can u hack that? Here, we moan abt driving to KB….or Langkawi! Actually, very few drivers drive, they fly!
Sorry to bring you crashing down on your dreams ( hey, like u say – its mine too and every speed hungry fella reading this now )
sponsorship builds FROM a certain mass and if we dun have that mass and the correct public acceptance of the sports…..no need talk further. ( hope u understand my meaning )

my-Kart = UnityI don’t think it’s a harsh response from you at all Jules. I totally agree with everything you had to say. The best example that I can relate to is not on four wheels but two instead.
A number of years back Petronas was running a 250cc Moto Gp team and they had two riders for their final season which was Shahrol Yuzy (Malaysian) and Sebastian Porto (Argentina). Earlier on Yuzy always complained on not having A class factory bikes. Then finally Petronas got him his wish. But no results at all even when the best machinery was given. Why? Some people will say that even if Yuzy had factory bike which was a Yamaha at that time, It still couldn’t match the likes of an Aprilia or Honda. So the critics were all quiet until Sebastian Porto’s couple of wins and podiums and most of the the time he was in the lead pack fighting it out with the big boys. Then suddenly Petronas pulled out of Moto Gp to go to World Superbikes. Weird for such a big company to go to a lower class when you’re one step away from the premier class in Moto Gp (No offense to all Superbike owners).
So what Jules had to say for me was just plain reality folks! :up:[quote=edwynlow]Let’s have the post this way at the moment to see how many ppl in a category:

my-Kart = UnityI don’t have much knowledge and experience in the business field but my opinion I think is sadly kart rental in Malaysia will never reach the standards as what mikko said about Finland! No offence Malaysians, but up till today we still see the “Tidak Apa” and “Cincai” attitude in everything here. Don’t need lo look so far away at a place like Finland. Just observe our Singaporean neighbors. Perfectionist attitude hard to come by here.

Anyway my friend who is a sales manager with Fuchs (Silkolene) deals with korean made HJC helmets. I bought my bike helmet at about 450/=. The retail was about 750/= for that helmet. Im gonna ask him if he can bring in karting/auto ones. Better check the HJC website 1st.
