Sepang - 10 Jan 2009

After the session:

Ripping off the bumper

Torn bumper, broken right rear light, dented fender and slightly dented boot

That's my car! It really rained in the last one hour of the session. During which I did probably a dozen or so laps, non-stop. But I lost it going down to T9 due to aquaplaning, slid along the short downhill straight, backwards, and ended up clipping the right rear to the steel barrier. But it could've been worse if I hit the barrier sideways. That would've spelt full car repainting. The only regret is, it happened on the out lap, when the red stop lights were already on and I've already slowed down! *sigh*

It's in the workshop now. Hopefully it'll recover soon. Still was not satisfied with my dry time. A lot more grip and much more stable with the new suspension. But did not managed to get a good clean unobstructed run.

man,
takde la.

elip,
aku dah pegi sepang maybe more than a dozen times. 1/3 of it wet session. and it only happen now. which i hate to admit, but largely my fault. tayar dah sampai indicator tapi layan wet. tu yg aquaplane teruk. but it's still much much safer to experience it on track rather than on road. u don't want to be caught by surprise on the road. trust me.

iman,
yeah! tracking goes on!

mmg la boleh buat camtu. manager SIC tu pun cakap suruh buat mcm tu. kengkawan aku pun ramai kata buat je.

tapi aku tak nak abuse insurance system. well since aku sendiri pun kerja BNM hehehe lagipun kalau kantoi report palsu lagi panjang cerita. so bayar je lah
