Thanks to Uncle Foo, he drove us (Andre, Sherwin and I) to Permas. It took us 2 hours plus to reach permas due to traffic jam at Woodland Checkpoint.
I didn't know Permas actually quite near to Johor Bahru. Well, we went to a coffee shop to have our breakfast. Uncle Foo reminded us not to eat too much as racing is going to start once we reached the racing track. Malaysia's Fishball noodles was nice!
A classic camera shot by Andre. (Permas Karting) I was taking some shots on those karts.
Standby Helmets for the racer.
Yes! These are all 'ready' go karts!
We are the 13th team. The last team to register for the race. haha! I had only 3 days to get myself prepare for the 2hours endurance race. 3 person in a team and each of us have 40mins to race as many rounds as possible. End of the race, the team with the most rounds is the winner.
We draw slots to know which kart we are driving! haha.. no 5!
We came in last for the qualifying rounds. haha! You cannot see our kart in this picture.
An interesting camera shot i had taken. Andre was on the race and Sherwin was holding our team no. This team no can use to show the racer when to come for pit stop. Sherwin mentioned that we wore this safety suit like prison break! hahaha.
tat's me! haha! After couple of rounds, it started drizzling. And when I was turning a sharp angle, the kart had spinned and luckily there were tires on the sidelines. Luckily, I didn't damage the kart.
I was turning to the pit stop, driver changing to Sherwin.
Andre was deep in thoughts to catch up with the others. Because we were far back.
Sherwin on the race.
Uncle Louis was pulling away the damaged kart to prevent obstruction. And guess what, racers had to pay for damages.
This is how the top up the fuel during pit stop. =)
He is the oldest racer. I gave him a nickname, Jackie Chan!
He looks cool with his overall suit.
After a tiring race, we came in 11th out of 13th teams. Andre and Sherwin.
Andre and me.
Three of us had enjoyed very much during the 2hours race. The speed was fast, the ground was wet... and yet we had completed the race.
A good memories to try on racing competition. There will be another race held at permas end of this year, this time it will be a individual race.
Its not how fast you can drive to win the race. The main factor to win is to have a constant speed at all times during the race and getting near top 3 racers. This picture was taken from the gokartingedge. com forum.
These are some of the fast and furious racers!
Take care.
