All systems oh no my chain..I mean all systems go!
Hi everyone, sorry again for the late update(I hate saying this). It's been a very busy month and will be busy again until the beginning of February. First of all the My-Kart Drivers series had just started. Supposedly the first race should be in 3rd January but due to rain we had to postpone it into the 17th of January. It was a bad weekend for me though. My tire pressure were wrong, the engine was not performing well and I struggled for consistency throughout the race. In 1st heat it went bad as I struggled with oversteer and most of all I had no brake pads. Into the 2nd heat, it was great the first few laps, took the lead but unfortunately I was bogged down and lose 3-4 places and it stays there without any exciting or thrilling race as I was virtually racing alone. I got DNF in the final :-( courtesy of someone in a blue suit(there were 4 of them) who bogged me down and at the same time snapping my chains. I had to make do with a spare kart with 3 laps down and to add more into my misery the kart had no brake pads too because they took it and put it on the kart that I used before. I had to retire anyway so there you go, a typical retirement for a racing driver :p. I felt a bit miserable after that but no matter it's gone anyway and it's just a race I'll get lucky soon. I was suppose to compete in the KKS 1st round as well. However, I had other work to do so I didn't compete in it. My teammate entered though and finished a great 2nd in the race :-). It's quiet actually with my new team since it's the holidays and I shall resume 'winter' testing after the holidays. For now its just training with the 100cc Yamaha kart to get to know the technical stuff etc for the preparation of the first round of Yamaha SL Cup.
