Karamjit Singh - The Forgotten Treasure

[recca_act]

i'm not sure bout u guyz.. but i find it rather stupid of m'sian govt... and involving private sectors.

Yes.. no doubt that F1 is a more popular sports than rally.. but he's a well established and known driver.... than some rookie, and worthless_attempt_to_be_1st_M'sian_F1_drivers.....

it is sad to see Karamjit going thru such difficulties and having need to just.. let go .. just like that... itz fucked up man..

i guess itz all about $$ ... damn those fools...

He's the best in the country and yet the government is not lending a hand, it's just frustrating, what the hell r they thinking

He is 45 years old, and for me i think he needs to pass his knowledge to younger generations. As for sponsorship, to get, you need to give... I think the money is there, all he needs is to ask and show that the sponsorship is a win-win situation for all. If he thinks the money is supposed to be handed to him in a silver platter, then, he wont be able to get it.

 

[spockret]

any news about him???

 

[blackend]

birocracy and double standard make karamjit singh missing from our motorsports..

 

[luqae]

MALAYSIA have to amazing rally driver karamjit and saladin, but both of them have not been given any recognition as our govermnet are all blind.

 

[blackend]

probably this sport not popular among the other sport in our country..that is the our government thinking...

Blackend,i have to correct u there, our gov dont care about what its ppl want, what they like, what sports shud they support,they only think about what they like things that will bring money they dont care if the rakyat like it or not, for example tell me who the hell plays the monsoon cup?is there any team from malaysia?i mean purely malaysian??if im not mistaken there's none!!!(correct me if im wrong) whatever it is,its not a sport that all malaysian can afford or are interested in...The only reason rallying are not popular is because our gov are not supporting it, our media are more interested in gossips and waste of time stuff,thats y its hard to get sponsors.

I know a lot of malaysian love rallying and racing,just look around u when ur on highways or street, all those wannabe street racers,modders ,car forums,car clubs are popping up like mushroom after rain(direct translation). malaysia have a lot of talent in driving,just look at our current race driver karam pwrc champion,saladin when he was in his subaru he dominate china,indonesia,thailand, yr 2005-2007(correct me if im wrong), look at fadzil alang the r3 driver(i know he won a lot of champonship), Tengku Djan (drifting and there's a lot more i bet),Fairuz Fauzy A1,Alex yoong,and many more unknown driver.

All make our country proud, alot of them use their own money to finance their race,to make sure they can bring malaysia to the world stage but what to they get??not even recognition from our country and media...they have produce promising result and some have prove they are the best but instead our gov keep on financing unpromising sports e.g football and alot more.

so i hope 1 day our gov realize the true assets of this country.Open ur eyes malaysia gov!! owh and im pissed offf grrrrr

I dont think age is an issue here.....it just that there is no one better than this 45 year old racer...its as simple as that....the stupid gomen only thinks in the line of race(bangsa), religion and what not...look what happened to Team Petronas Sprinta TVK. TVK stands for Tong Veng Kit. He died in a freak road accident very unfortunately. And the team despite being managed by his fiancee did not get anymore support from not only the gomen but also this racist oil company. So close shops la...same with Karam, he will get all the support needed if he changes his name to something suitable for this gomen then all support will come flowing in...but Karam wont do that.

Perhaps rallying is not a big sport in bolehland but its not the case elsewhere...here the gomen and the cronies only go after glamour sport but that also cannot perform and produce world champions despite huge money being dumped in....all masuk poket and the rest just trickle down..not worth my time commenting about motorsports/sports in this country la...just wasting my time...in the mean time I shall take some interest in F1 once again where Shummy will race again...despite only for a short while until Massa returns...

back then during 80's and 90's rally was considered as major motorsports in malaysia with shell,petronas and proton including pert,uspd as well as many privateers plays along well with media especially The Sun newspaper...giving full support with full rally coverage (*means:schedule,route map,everything for rally events)....even tv3 was giving their best....(at that moment tv3 was still new and not biased to any scope/even for "kenamaan" people only)


-even in 96 there was trial Rally Of Malaysia (asia pacific) with star driver came such as late colin mcrae,late possum bourne,k.taguchi,hillclimb monster and many more.....


but since after that year a lot of incident happens thus dream to see wrc circus came to malaysia was gone.....

and so along with the joy Rally of malaysia....

-later there was tarmac rally sponsored by silverstone...but after a few years..gone missing...lack of publicity...

and new generation now only can enjoy hard to come by felda rally.....and i saw very little publicity given....and not impossible to die a few years later.....


and "karam" is a good driver if given any car that he familiar with...(that is turbocharged 4wd car with dog-box)<<as u can see all of PERT car based on this criteria...but when new generation car such as s2000 neo with n/a engine and sequential gb...narrow powerband require a lot of gearchanges...maybe he still learning and looking for his rhythm....or not fit enough......maybe if he was given a better training and time with that s2000 neo he will shine....

but now...that car.....raced by int. duo.....i would love to see 3rd driver for karam himself in IRC...

its sad to see rallying segment quite slow....huhuhu....


-yup..easiest place is youtube...

but sometimes take note on astro sports channel....last year i was eager to see neo S2000 on the run in IRC.....

 

[arturo]

Astro oso not so reliable...the show times sometimes dun make sense. last time back when they were showing WRC regularly...the show times keep changing...in the end, i watch from youtube only...

my personal opinion is rally is way more interesting than F1...the in car video rawks! if i were in the car sure vomit aredy lol

the speeds which they take corners unbelievable...

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

hopefully rally community in malaysia still holding strong....

supports such as MRU motorsports,

GSR team

P2-felda team


etc etc...
