Events; SIC Open Track Day Hari Raya Haji Special! – Part 1

Posted on December 9th, 2008 kev 1 comment

Before the open session started, Team Meritus from the Formula BMW series was caught testing...

As mentioned in the previous blog post, we gained access to the track for more images during the last open track day on Hari Raya Haji. The rain did not dampen most sprits, although some FF drivers were anxious to let it rip on the track, only to find out that it was temporary closed due to the rain!!

More shots from the day here, we captured almost 500 images, but selected the best 100 or so. Don’t be disappointed if you didn’t see your car! It was probably going too fast!

Team orders!!! Get back in right now!

Setting up a car requires input from the driver

I went for a short pitwalk to see who’s here and the search turned up some interesting results; an almost 50/50 split between Hondas and AWDs (consisting of Scoobys and Evos and a sole GTR 35)! Proton was also represented by a cadre of Satria Neos from NeoClub, a couple of GTis and Wiras, and then there’s this =

Girl or guy?

Dudes, if you’re planning to do some bending, wear a belt! LOL

Most of the participants were setting up their cars due to the rainy weather, mostly with swapping semi-slicks for rain tires or adjusting tire pressure. There were others who were looking gloomily at the skies. Sorry guys, your R888s, A048s and AD07s will do you little good in the heavy drizzle we were experiencing. Even the Formula BMW people were having traction problems, with some of them spinning out.

Setting the tire pressures for the track is an important task

Why are they crowding around this car?

No wonder, many enthusiasts were taking videos of their runs as well...

  Somehow I’m starting to wonder if there were *only* 60 units of FD2-R up for grabs from Honda, probably more than that on the road from what I see.
  
  The last picture is Chris from Pentagon I suppose, the one and only J’s Racing “Super Taikyu” Type-S Aerokit in Malaysia at the moment, with Special FD2-R Edition Volks Racing RE-30 wheels, a bit too aggresive for my liking but I guess it works wonders on the track inducing more downforce especially on the front end of the car.
