Langkawi Trip

Hey there! I just got back from Langkawi. How was it? Well its a little bit mixed to be honest. Lets start with the bad one shall we? First of all I lost my valuables such as iPod(used it for a 1 1/2 week) wallet(badly damaged looks like a old bread), whats inside the wallet(cards,ids etc etc) and almost everything. Moreover I wasn't in the mood to hit the beach or sightseeing yet, so everything apart from karting there was bad. However, if my mood was up, I can tell you that is one the best place to have a vacation if you ask me. The lush greeneries, decent beaches, great hospitality, a lot of activities and of course karting! :) When I first arrived at the track, I was like so this is it? looks small but it's not! its 1.2 kms, a lot of corners to negotiate and just 2 straights to play with. Only 4-strokes kart were available there sadly :( I was hoping for a faster one. A 2-stroke kart would be more than enough but the girl said that tourist keep on destroying the karts. Away I go! At first its pretty hard to find the perfect line to drive. There were so many sudden corners just like the Sepang track, then you have the 'balls' corner. I like that particular corner. Reminds me of Parabolica in Monza but a lot shorter. I had fun with a 4-stroke there, must be even better if I was in a racing kart :D . To sum up the track, its Sepang/Elite track. Very smooth and not bumpy even though it looks unkept, a lot of smooth corners+technical corners. For those who is planning to go Langkawi, be sure to visit there. Its a nice experience ;)
