It has been about 2 weeks since i have last driven in the track..getting in the car is a routine until when i'm driving it. Yap zai's kart is a powerful thing...the first kart i've driven this year.
Today was a bit special, Sylvester and his bro was there too..joining and slowly lapping a few rounds.
So there i go rolling in his kart, tyres were still cold, have to do some warm up laps and trying to get use to the kart. After a few warm-up laps, its time to jam the throttle.
I was having quite a hard time getting used to the kart..went well on the straights. But behaves strangely in low speed corners. And as i was entering the corner, the backside tends to break lose and I really have to fight hard to regain control of the thing..sadly when exiting the last corner heading to the start/finish line, the kart spun. After the uncles and i got it rolling again, i set for a few more laps and figured its time to end with that kart..
Then, to my uncle's new kart...as usual, first few rounds is sort of practice session..where u get used to the car, feel the throttle and brakes. Tyres are new and it runs good as any new slicks does. It gets in the corner as u wanted it to and exits nicely without a hitch.
A few laps in, i spun hard and ending up next to the tyres on the side of the road. As i was exiting that corner, the back end threw out, counter steered and jam the throttle trying to get it back straight but failed...i would have wrecked the new thing if it wasn't for the tyres stopping me..and fortunately that i was wearing a helmet!
The sky was getting dark and i reckon would be time to end my session, handing it to Sylvester then his bro. His bro was new and just rolls slowly...reminds me of myself years ago..haha!.
Thats all for now...will be back for more soon. =)
