How I Miss

25 April

There was a race yesterday, and I was unable to a part of it. Was on holiday instead!
But it was a good and short getaway so it was well worth.

These are the result and looks like Leo is getting well with his Max engine now. Before that he was bemoaning somewhat that he was unsure how the engine performs.
Very good to see the top 4 finish in Heat 2 is only covered by less than 4 sec !!!

I do miss the Sunday which I normally get into the track bright and early to avoid the silliness of jam at the causeway.

Two Sunday back while I was driving to have my breakfast in JB, and while I was going in the track I took some pics. Looking at it, this is what some of us will miss beside just the roar of the engine.


Perhaps not... give me the engine roar anytime!
Here I will go again this Sunday !!

Senna

3 April

I had just watched this fantastic movie earlier today.

It was something I think can I can certainly watch again.... and perhaps again and some more.
To be perfectly honest, I had never been a Senna fan.

Had always read and seen how he could be of a maverick when he was at the track. I admired him but that was it.

I was more of a Raikkonen fan. Largely because this fellow is cool and collected at most occasions, and maybe I can identify with it.

Senna, to me personally, come across as slightly volatile, and some of his racing is over the limit which cause quite a few controversies. That was me... before the documentary film.

I don't think I could say much about this splendid production more other than to please watch it.

Oh, was at the track yesterday. Yes it was unusual for me to be karting on a given saturday. I would generally prefer Sunday. The main reason was that there will be less fun karters. The day went well but it would be even better if I had not come together with a junk fun kart when KP and I was 'dueling'. It was very infuriating. Thankfully, the damage was just to the sidepod.

The nice thing about yesterday was that KP pace was really good. It took something to pass him and he overtook me again. It was fun. Our general pace was constantly sub 46s. At the end of a 10 laps, he was quite exhausted and I was still fresh. Which is why at a race distance, he may suffered and other will sniff at these and got him.

But I believed he will do quite well in the April race.
