27 sept 2009 sepang track day

[HBS]

My car got turbo but I drive very slow only, newbie mah. Can hardly feel any G if you're in my car, but welcome to hitch a ride, I go out alone anyway. ANy idea when is the next track day.

About the inner suit, I saw 2 of you guys from that silver Z. One of you wearing balck inner suit I think, covering whole body?

black shirt only....Inner suit in house...long time didnt wear it...I also dunno if my racing suit still fit or not...

Co-driver of silver Z....:wavey:

Hey bro, nice to meet you here. Actually I was looking for you. After came back from red light, I was searching for the V10. Never seen one myself, wanna take photo. But couldn't find.

22nd Nov, haiyah, not free that weekend. Too bad. I will be in Penang for the Penang Bridge International Marathon. Bad timing.

Malaysian V10 I think 2.5L. Jap V10 2.0. Bigger horsepower because higher rev.

scoobie, is ur name terry? u put a video on youtube? my sepang trackday?

 

[scoobie]

yes morpheus , why?

scoobie, is ur name terry? u put a video on youtube? my sepang trackday?

 

[morpheus]

i saw that video, suggestion to u - remember the circuit map.
i think u are not familiar with the cornering. that's why a bit late braking.

 

[scoobie]

yea, u r right, it was my 1st time on track. next time i would be better when i familiarise & visualise on d track...

 

[morpheus]

better download the map and remember all 15 corner. where is T4, where is T9, T13. once we say T# then u know which corner. very helpful on track

 

[ayla]

Saw few cars in the track hav a printed sic map on their windscreen. Just in front of the sun visor

 

[akuma]

knowing d track by heart of coz wud b d best,but it's never wrong 2 haf a printed version stuck inside ur car sumwhr.....just make sure u dun keep ur eyes in d map 4 too long 2 cause any mishap on d track ler,kekekekekeek
n after knowing whc turn is whc,thn can slowly upgrade 2 memorise whr u'll b goin uphill or downhill...dis can really help u 2 choose whc gear u 1na whack d corner in n gain slash quite alot frm ur lap time!best 2 get an experienced driver n gip u sum tipper....n if i u dare,hand ur car over 2 d fella n c wat ur car can actually do!i did d former n i slashed almost 10sec frm my previous track time.....awesome!

 

[scoobie]

thanks for d advise guys...alrdy downloaded d map & stuck it in my working desk...looking at it when i m free..haha.. i hope to get better line & better timing next track day

 

[morpheus]

sticking the map in the wind screen cant help. most important is to memorize the circuit. and very helpful tips is to sit beside an experience track kaki. better still let him drive your car. sometimes i let different sifu drive my car. to see different technique they can do to my car.

 

[faisal]

tonnes of on board videos of SIC track days on Youtube. watching the better ones helps too.

[akuma]
