well, here i am. the last to write, and hence u guess it,
it's cos i have nothing to write. and very much with
nothing to show for.
in fact, a plain simple nothing entry will do just fine.
nothing.
.............THE END..........
pls go read others blog somewhere. shoo shoo
hahaha
no,no,no... i do have something to say and it is: "it sucks!!"
the feeling that u think u can actually accomplished
something. u felt u can do it. then the end result is cos of
one's arse mistake.
ONE mistake, that's all. and that mistake is not from me.
darn it! sod it!
and i asked myself again and again, why oh why... why me!!!
since the details of the grouping and lining up on the grid has
been explained earlier, i will not go into that anymore.
EXCEPT that, nic, u are 7th on the starting grid lah.
how i can be so sure is i was 6th, and he is right behind me
on my right. poser....! hahaha
oh at this point, i have to add that kart is allocated to us
by a very ancient fool proof method --> Lucky Draw
kart 35. warm up lap>
turning is not too bad. slight oversteer. but tyre is cold, no
good grip yet. throttle hard on up slope... torque ok but not
fantasic. brake hard as david in front of me did the same.
hmmm brake bites with the tail swing slightly to the left.
which is good for this track.
overall i felt i might have a kart that might do something today
in this 'semi-final' i just have to keep it together.
i will. keep cool and focus and not let others push me into
mistakes or overtake me easily.
reached my start grid. i was actually fairly relaxed. just
keeping the rev up and not have the engine cool till it is dead.
look over to nic and tell him to do the same.. we waited for the
field of 12 to form up proper.
keep the rev up. think of the line i will go to when the green
flag comes down.
keep the rev up... since i'm on the left side of the track, i need to
somehow move from where i am to the right side of the track but
not losing any speed gain on the straight...
keep the rev up.... the last kart is positioned.. 10 laps. green flag
is up.. 10 laps.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1 and the flag is down
all 12 engines sprung into a instant VROOM
kept to my plan, as i reckoned i did managed to launch rather fast.
i cut between the karts in front of me... jinxed to the right side for
the left turn.
turn left. good clean turn. no one forced me to the side & vice versa.
turn 2, right turn coming up.. i had to move to my left slightly.
i know kart 456 is just beside me but i believe i can past him..
then suddenly, i realised there's another cutting between him and me.
it was NIC! what the....!
the next second they were there, the next they disappeared to have
a little chat and tea on the grass before turn. ok less competition
that's not too bad.
focus... keep my focus. david is still in front of me. 2 others in
front of him
which means, after turn 4, i'm fourth. 2 places gained in less
than a lap
well done kart 35. game on! i coming to get u david. and i will get
past you! focus... up hill... i managed to close in from a kart length
to half kart length. this kart is one good baby! come on, let's get
uncle david out of the way!
then it happened... that POSER guy with a racing suit & cool helmet,
and a better kart spun while turning into turn 5, a right turn.
he was 1st then.
the way he spun, he was still facing in the right direction. david went
past him cleanly and by the time the space i needed to go past him,
that $#^#$#@ decided to start his race again. meaning i had the
option of crashing him by trying, or brake hard to avoid contact.
in the hindsight, i should crash into him and send him back to his
mother's womb. but of cos, i did not.
henceforth, i spun too. at the end of it i was facing the wrong direction.
i could have just did wat he did. do a power wheel spin to face in the
right direction to continue but i could not. the rest of the field is upon
that turn, meaning i had to wait. during the wait, the engine died.
$#%$$%@!!
hmmmm thinking of it, the four of us did managed to open up maybe
a 4-5 second lead then. judging from the time the rest come to the turn.
who cares rite? by the time i managed to get going again i was a
lap down. sigh
all i can do then is TRY to catch the last group to unlap myself and
not have the leader of race lapping me again.
sadly, i only managed not to been lap again.
i finished.... somewhere in the list.. perhaps last....
likely last. who cares.
since after that, i had nothing to do. i helped to be a marshal for the
next semi at the hairpin.
quite exciting. i waved many yellow flags. many spins.
then for the final, i was at turn 1. expecting to use the strength that
i reserved for the race to wave more yellow flags i end up with
nothing to do. good clean race.
so.... i did more marshal duties that day than racing
am i ready as a F1 marshal for the Singapore F1 or wat!
=====================================
F1 French GP.
Kimi finally wins again after his win in Australia this season
perhaps he was lucky, as massa was stuck behind traffic during
his outlap after the pitstop. and Kimi had a clean inlap before his pit.
the valuable seconds lost by Massa was the deciding factors.
result = Kimi won.
massa, my sympathies. not cos i like u as a driver, i really prefer
kimi style. but that very same day, i went thru something similar too!
while u believed u can win the race, i just believed i can do better.
or do something at the sharp end!
sigh
in the end, who cares..... when u dun win.
so, is it time for STAGE SKR?
i believe the time has come.
