Nothing gives me the adrenalin rush just the way I like it except for go-karting or karting. Leaving for Russia again on the 2nd sept, I quickly sign up for my-kart's round 9, the only round my schedule allows this year.
This driver is not too happy getting up at 645a.m. to be on track before 8a.m.
Suiting up for warmups..?
Waiting for K2 race to start, erm.. looks like no umbrella girls like those GT or F1 races.
Kart #6, I can say this is my personal kart of the day.
Rolling start... unofficial marshall flagged off heat 1 group A.
The driver in red hiding under the shade while watching the K2 Group A heats.
Getting ready for action.
Lap 1 first corner... who's going to get the best line, who's going to exit the turn first and who going to brake late, who's taking inside, who's going around on the outside.. nobody knows until everyone exits turn 1.
Leading about 6 tens of a second?
Driver in blue, and red.
This must be Fazz, the my-kart boss... on kart #6.
Is that a hello kitty on the helmut?
The grandstand ..?
K3 flag off... from rolling start too.. everyone's trying to find a space.
Another photographer on the hunt.
K2 drivers watching and waiting K3 drivers to enter pit area so their race can start.
Start my engine.. please!
A very close chase...
Late braking, going wide at the apex and taking the outside line out of the last turn, heading down the main straight in full throttle. Will Kart #20 make it first into T1?
Mr. Viet kong sweeping with my favourite kart of the day.
Another K2 driver.
Fazz on kart #28 in the finals
Oh, maybe should try not to be too agressive to avoid spinning out again? There is always the next turn or another mistakes by the driver in front.
The start for K2.. K3 uses pull-start engine.
K2 kart.
Slicks, these are dry tyres... but they are sometimes used as intermediates :) if it starts to pour in the last few laps. Also, are sometimes Full Wets for K3s.. but too dangerous for K2.
