[quote=EthicalMan]Hi, is there any karting events for children aged 14-16 in Malaysia? I really need help on this.[/quote]
Same as the post by edwynlow below.
We have children from 12 years old through to adults, participating in these events.If you are not comfortable for them to join due to lack of experience, please do coma along to the event and discuss with myself and other senior karters and we gladly assist and maybe arrange some training sessions (if you see ‘chicken wings’ mentioned in this forum, it is our phrase used for training sessions!)
[quote=RawFlesh][quote=TheFazz]with all the excitement for the TEAMS series – would somebody like to suggest the calendar here? Please refer & update the my-kart Google calendar here.[/quote]
One request, can some of the TEAM/One-off events be run on CCW? Makes it more interesting, i guess 8-)[/quote]
Ruben – YOU ARE SO FIRED! 😛 I hate CCW
Bro Naza. All of them are buaya’s in the making! Each and everyone of them demonstrated great all round potential. It was honestly a very tough and gruelling 4 hours of decision making!
I sincerely hope we will see them at my-kart events and I am convinced we will be forced into retirement as they sharpen their skills!
[quote=naza]Congrats to the final magnificent 7 selected and this is just the beginning. Kudos to TTR for their contribution to grassroots motorsports.
I will say this again: those who did’nt make it should not despair and instead join the my-kart club race series in the new season (2010) and you will be amazed yourselves at how good you are and in a very short time too.
Fyi, there are other racing teams who prefer to lie low and keeping a sharp eye on new talents like yourselves….and that’s why you must show yourselves in my-kart races.
Come and join Rd 10 this weekened for a start.[/quote]
Da LobsterCongrats to you as well little man! You did extremely well and the decision making process was really tough, believe me!

Da Lobster[b]7 Rookies Selected for my-KART 8 Hours Mad Mega Endurance[/b]
[b]03 November 2009[/b] – It took around 4 hours of deliberating to select the rookies from the shortlist of 19 drivers. The Team TeleVAS Evaluation Panel comprising of Mark Timms, Zul Samad, Ramsey Rizal and Desmond Khoo struggled for hours on end to make their final selection.
The process started by identifying drivers based initially on their performance during the time trial. Driver weights were considered using a factoring formula to assess their relative weight/lap time against the benchmarked lap times. Further considerations such as track safety and ethics, kart control and driver potential were introduced into the decision making process.
It is worthy to note that of the 19 drivers shortlisted, each driver met a certain criteria that we were looking for in the final selection and after the very first round of elimination all 19 drivers were still on the list! This in itself speaks volumes about the performance and characteristics of the participants who were all so closely matched.
Initially we announced that we would select 5 drivers for the team. However, the evaluation panel finally reached the conclusion that we will select 7 drivers to undergo training leading to the 8 hours endurance race. Each driver will receive fully sponsored professional coaching comprising of track theory and practice, team building and team strategising. Of the 7 drivers, 5 will drive in the endurance and 2 will form an essential part of the team as crew members.
The successful rookies selected to join Team TeleRookies under the umbrella of Team TeleVAS Racing are:-
1. Michael James Taylor
2. Chin Ze Wei
3. Ahmad Ezane Ahmad Taharim
4. Woo Peng Kuen
5. Ezreen Edzwan
6. Muhammad Saifuddin Shafik
7. Chin Yaa KhimCongratulations to the 7 drivers and for those who did not make it through to the final group, we can assure you that it was not an easy decision to make and the level of competence demonstrated by all the drivers was far above the expectations of the evaluation panel. Our heartiest congratulations go out to all of you.
[b]01 November 2009[/b] – 18 drivers participated in a time trial at City Karting, Shah Alam. Team TeleVAS Racing evaluation panel were monitoring drivers on track who took part in 5 sepearate sessions to determine their best lap times.
Due to potential imbalance in kart performance, Team TeleVAS senior drivers were grouped into three weight categories, 50-59Kg, 60-69Kg and 70+Kg and were assigned to specific karts. The senior drivers then set bench lap times in their respective weight class and participants were then grouped according to their weights.

[quote=TheFazz][quote=ikhsan utama]now thats the problem…i hit somebody
no room to go to many ppl in 1 corner 4 or 5 take the hairpin in the same time…just can see they touching spin and crashhhhh :O ahaha :shy:[/quote]i think the first sign of a driver of good ethics, is the ability to acknowledge when one has made an error and show the desire to want to improve thereon. :up: :up:[/quote]
😀 :up: :up:
My advise would be to come and join some my-kart races and buy a kart once you are confident you are no longer a beginner!
[quote=ikhsan utama]i didn’t do my best! 🙁
wrong kart in session 2 :shy:[/quote]Ikhsan, don’t worry. We weren’t looking for speed, we wanted to see your safety, track skills and ethics.
