After almost 4 hours of timing for race grid *super slow and time consuming for they only had one GPS unit. and the originally 3 laps running - warm-up lap, flying lap, and cool down lap; was cut short to 2 laps, only warm up lap and cool down lap. Which cause a few cars with weaker brake mod to almost ran out from the runway for we were force to make a U-turn at the entry of the S corners which is about 70M from the finishing line.
At 3pm finally all the cars had line up for the first 1.3L class race~
Han is warming up his KP's engine~ had to keep his foot on the throttler cause it's webber is running very rich~ lol
And check out the front formula tires from those 1.6L FJ race car~ Love it's Michelin logo~
Another familiar face from the MME race this year~ Federal FZ-201 semi-slick tyre~
Sorry wasn't able to get a good shot on the 1.3L race, was trying out panning shot which almost all went south~
And the big eyes catcher of the day~ Wawa~ brought to you by Chan Brother - Penang.
The satria 1.3 and saga BLM were boogie-ing fast~
And han's KP were chasing it's heart out~
A typical race day scene @ KGC, packed with viewers for free show~
And what had i said earlier..... han's KP heart were "out" oil temp went over the 150 mark and he had to retired early from the race. And a quick look at the engine, it wasn't looking good. The oil seal were leaking oil severely.
After that's it's the satria Neo class~ (with a BLM mix in) And there's a lady driver taking part as well~
Where she were second last and maybe were pushing her car a littler over the edge, and we can see a lot of smokes came from her car in the last lap, when trying to run away from the last car. And from the amount of it, i speculate that her car maybe get a blown gasket/broken con-road or piston or the all time famous broken cam pro Gen 1 crank shaft.
And 2 corners later, she ramp into the tyre wall and stalled. Later we could see black smokes which we get when burning rubbers. And all the racers rush over to check her out.
And one of the driver bring her back to the grand stand. As where all the busy body surrounded the car to take a peek at the conditions of the driver. Which i wasn't really please with them was when the person who was giving first aid to her, (she was unconscious and had an asthma attack) shouting to the crowd to clear up and give her space and fresh air, the crowd still closing in to get a better shot with their cellphone camera.
It was 15 minutes later and with kind-reminder from us, the organizer only to get the fire extinguisher from the circuit's office and rush to the burning car to try to put the fire out.
But it's was all too late for the neo. We could only look from a far where it burns to the ground.
The fire engine only arrived 40 minutes later after the fire started. And the rain had start pouring down on us. I dun get to take any pictures for it's pouring hard and i was packing to go home cause it's already nearly 5pm. We still had a 2.5 hours drive home and a dinner stop to do.
Reaching home after 3 hours of driving @ 9pm+ for mango's axle wasn't working as smoothly as it should be. Will took it apart again later to check what is the cause of it.
Btw, just a small info for you all. They had accepted 112 cars into the race that day. (Where i purposely waited to be the last car to be inspected and numbered) which is way way above KGC's capacity. I can say me and a few of my friends agreed that we were comfort with 30~40 cars and a maximum number of 50 cars to take part in KGC's track day.
Which this is surely the least organize track day i had been to KGC so far~
*Sorry if my words had offended anyone who is reading my post. But it's strictly my view only. Thanks for reading.
