GRA Round3 2008 was held on 7th Sept.First time GRA going to Sepang F1 Circuit car park,
with longest, fastest, and most technical course layout!
(If you have no idea on what is "GRA", read my previous post)
Different from the previous rounds in Shah Alam,we have bright blue sky and excellent weather this round.
The road are dry, means we doesn't need to "slide" around as what we did in Shah Alam.
The car park cover a very large area, where the organizer actually suggest us to bring bicycle along so easier for us to move around. I took almost half an hour to do the coursewalk with my leg!
The track layout was very nicely planned which cover the whole parking area, with a few long straights and a lot of fast corners. Middle of the course we have about 300metres long straights, which we can hit 120-140km/h easily. Layout is relatively technical and complicated, which is quite confusing causing a lot of drivers did wrong course run this round. Remember the track layout is the first task all drivers must get through.
Not much troubles for me in this round, where I have good handling and tire traction around the whole course. We were given 5 timed run and I just easily get used to the fast course and improved my time for each run. In the end I finish 1st in Class A with about 2.5second ahead of the 2nd position , that's a very satisfying results for me.
Round4 has been postponed due to some equipment problems.For anyone else interested to join GRA,
please do so as long as you have a "healthy" car, it can be a stock original car, pasar car, study car, daily drive car, monster car, track car...
This is actually a very good opportunity to learn the "behavior" of your car,
so that you can control it properly in different kind of situation especially when you're driving on the public road.
