one way would be to inform the pole sitter to go at jogging pace at the formation lap, so that rest could catch up and find their respective slots before that start.
i agree with sabelt and would like to add my 2 sens. just like k2, the k3 drivers should be informed about their starting position. this will save time n trouble arranging the karts on the starting grid.
one way is to inform each driver who they line up behind, so at the formation lap, all they need to do is just to find that driver/kart he/she has to line up behind.i would also like to mention something regarding drivers briefing. i noticed many k2 drivers will lepak at the laptop/food area when Fazz is giving his briefing. k2 are experienced drivers, no doubt about that. does that mean regular k3 drivers get to skip drivers briefing too?many k3 drivers are indeed regulars too. need some clarification on that. cheers.
just browsing the kartquest website.
i noticed under the “profile” tab, in the first photo is a row of karts and the background is part of the garage of Sepang kart track! if u zoom in, can see the sepang track map on the white board with chequered flag on the red wall.
if kartquest has taken over sepang track, does that mean hire karts are more easily available?so hows the extreme park track now, after the panglobal race…
what about the new Shah alam track?all i see are the words ‘standard’ and ‘FIA’.
i think it should be renamed to Formula FIA, since most components are from FIA-contracted(mr. di montezemolo’s or mr. dennis’ factory??) suppliers.
Ferrari was actually consulted for drafting the Formula FIA rules…
oh… thats interesting.
wonder how will this effect BMWs livery….thier LMP cars are in boring white,same as WTC. hope its like the white E30s with the M stripes during their DTM days.
… white with big green petronas words plastered at the rear wing perhaps….
webber is one loud empty vessel. i thought he is among the kimi,alonso,button ranks, but so far, he hasnt done much to prove anything….other than not able to do a decent start off the grid.
new management doesnt seem to solve williams woes too..
does this mean the end of petronas’ technical involvement in F1?
different time zone so i was up from 3-6am.
i wasnt watching the race, more of listening to the commentators and track reporters from itv-f1 feed.
wanted to be updated on michelins stand and also see how FIA will react. Honestly, it was more interesting than most races last year. unfortunate, but thats what thats happened.putting a chicane for your benefit is ridiculous. imagine going for exam, u didnt study hard enough and u tell your lecturer to make the exam simpler so u can past, while the rest studied hard and prepared enough for it. In the end, those fans at indy are the 1 that are the most disappointed. i will still allocate 2 hours of my sunday for f1, whatever happens 🙂
newbies being students, paying rm90 for 1/2 hours kart isnt the best way to spend money. plus, school kids do not have driving license to drive car, its not easy for them to go to CK.
maybe my-kart can collaborate with schools around shah alam and subang to join my-kart, have a karting club kinda thing. i really wished my old sekolah menengah had that kinda club.
not easy, but if u want to dig new talents and drivers, thats one way. maybe for the school kids, 1 heat and 1 final to make karting more affordable.from this link about mykart legal structure, there is a short mention of “junior driver search & development” . http://my-kart.org/web/index.php?q=node/144
i wonder hows the condition of the 80cc after round 1. nobody likes to pay the same amount and get rotten karts for the qualifying heats.
with good negotiation skills, u can get about 25 mins for rm70 as a group of arrive n drive customers.
FSI = fuel stratification injection
i got a pretty neat ad from VW talking about the FSI advantages. i will briefly type it out.
*new style of fuel injector and pistons, unique combustion chamber.
*airflow to cylinder is controlled by guided inlet tract to increase airspeed and tumble effect.
*geometrically optimised piston crown enchances tumbling effect giving superior mixture formation.
*high pressure fuel system, produces up to 100bar (thats 100 times the atmospheric pressure, 14700 psi) giving finer atomisation of fuel and more efficient combustion. fuel is injected into combustion chamber/cylinder.
*benefits of FSI : lower fuel consumption, lower emission, increased power.not very sure how FSI is different from Mitsubishis GDI, i only notice the piston design is different. check out this link for more info
http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/engine/petrol1.htm#GDItheir logo design and colour is rather unpleasing to the eye thats for sure.
maybe its a spin off from one of my-kart members?
