24th May 2009 Sunday Track Day

[eyong]

Fellas... yes, 18 July 12pm - 3pm is confirmed. There is a limit to how many can register though.

It includes a briefing for safety, and myself and a few other instructors will be onhand.

Price is RM 350. Sorry this is not negotiable.

For that price, what would be the car limit anyway ... Turned out to be another 150 demolition-derby style track would not be worthwhile anyway ... :hmmmm:

Simple economics mahh. At RM350 not many people can afford to join. Not everyone is willing to pay the premium price of having an empty track with instructors. Or perhaps you didn't read my earlier posting? If you don't wanna go, then don't say anything.

I'm just helping provide an opportunity by negotiating with the SG partner to provide some spots for some of us Malaysians that might want to join. It's not like there's a lot of spots anyway, probably about 15-20 max for Malaysian cars.

Hey, no need to get aggrevated as such. I am sure you are an economist, no doubt not me. I don't want to look down at anyone with or without RM350 but if the track is nice, I am not surprise at all people would even pay 400 for a session there. Yes, I have not read your posting before but since you said there is a limited entrance, of course there would be a number. Maybe I have missed your posting for number.

Why are you so defensive? If it's only 15-20 spots, I think it's really worthwhile ... No doubt at all. Cheers ok.

adian,

I would be keen, can you PM me the details? I gave the recent open track day a skip cos I kinda figured it would be like federal highway and I am a newbie and that combo is a disaster! LoL so if there is someone to guide me the initial runs that would be great. Thanks dude

dear trackies....

we dont need to worry bout heavy traffic during open track day @ sepang in near future.

because i heard from a reliable source, sepang officials already had plans to control the heavy turnout during open track days. They will require the drivers to wear racing suits during open track days. For safety purposes. But when will they execute the plan..i have no idea.

Hope that they will change their mind or hope that i'm wrong.

[egiewan]

Omg racing suits? Sure it's a good idea....but then the idea is to make tracking easier to reach for us 'normal' people. Race suits aren't exactly cheap. I think a better way to settle the heavy traffic is by limiting the number of cars on the track. Those late comers will be barred from entering

 

[cqloh]

i think theres a high probability that KIC (Kumar International Circuit).. will be implementing a trackday license.. should just be a simple class where drivers are told what the flags and general rules are and what saftey precautions have to be taken in terms of vehicle and track ettiquette

 

[clement]

what difference will all this do?
its all about mindset
those who got license from JPJ still go against the rule what
110 km/h ppl still go above that what

so if there is trackday license will we get summons huh?
it will not make a difference
just control the amount of car goin into the track

 

[soulV]

just make it a monthly event then i think everyone will have their spot.........dont know abt uguys but i definately cant afford to join evry month....tayar, fees,brake,allignment,etc...etc...:sleep:

 

[blue.taxi]

or made another low budget track in Selangor area??

drivers to wear racing suits??? walau.... not cheap lah this thing.... if like that sure ask us to hv FIA Helmet..?? or all car must used the Indo made 123..?? hehe

 

[akuma]

IMHO,making racing suit mandatory is a BAD idea!aww..come on....even making those SDB participants getting a racing license created quite a big huu-haa...n now they wan us open track day enthusiasts 2 wear racing suit?not cheap wei..even renting 'em is not cheap!

n i agree w clement,making d license mandatory oso won control any traffic coz if it's affordable...every1 can haf it....n if it's too expensive,SIC is turning away customers actually....

making everythg stay d same n thn limit d numbers of cars allowed on track shud b d way...like in MME n d coming 1000KM Race..y r they limiting to 77 cars ONLY?1 shud b safety reason.....so,der's only so much car a racing track can take @ a time......i say 4 open track day...100-120 cars wud b MAX...wat abt u guys/gals?

n abt blue.taxi's idea..sure...all sure sokong 1.but who 1na fund it?heehe..sendiri mau ingat ler....

 

[faisal]

SIC is homologated for only max 77 cars, if it's a Rolling Start Race.

even then oso in MME , with the speed difference between cars of all classes we get complains of traffic.

What more if u have an open track day of 100+ cars with varying skillset & experience drivers on track

More Trackdays weekends in a year (monthly at least) is the way forward.

Making race suits mandatory, if a car has no or minimal safety requirement makes no sense either. Race suits are to protect driver if he or she is caught in a flaming car. and they must be combines with flame-retardent shoes and gloves to be effective.

What next? full FIA undergarments? FIA Helmets. HANS devices..

All that for a Track Day in a street car. Hilarious
