Ascari Race Resort

I recently came across an article in a motoring magazine which caught my attention...it is something that all men will have wet dreams about....it's about the rich and the famous...its a place where we burn the remaining 40 years or so of petroleum reserves we have left on planet Earth...its ASCARI RACE RESORT!!!.....

Alright...lemme tell you abit about this magnificent piece of property...this Dutch guy...Klaas Zwart...a multi billionaire...he was sick of paying the rent to pump his hyper cars on tracks around the world...and one day...he decided its enough of all this...and so...while he was lazing around...taking a ride in his helicopter, he saw this piece of empty land somewhere remote in Spain, Ronda. Bought dat piece of land...scribbled the track layout he wanted on a piece of paper.. wrote a cheque of 70million euros...this is wat you get:


There is even a skipan there...for you to test how much lateral g-forces it can take before your balls fly out ....
This track was initially built for private use only...but heck...wats racing without anyone around you...so ...he is kind enough to open up his track for 500 other rich ppl....at a cost of ..zheng zheng zheng....

Membership fees (30 years) : 125,000.00 Euros
Annual Maintenance fees : 8,500.00 Euros
Track Usage Allowance : 100 days/year/member

With this money....you get these:


A helipad for those of you who can't be bothered driving your Maserati Quattroporte/Porche Cayenne to the track....and if you do...there's a heated garage with its own climate control...high pressure pumps to power the tools...and loads more...there's even an underground carpark for you to keep all the cars that you have brought there to drive around...this is madness..

And if you think that's not enough...check this out....there's a swimming pool there..a bar...a restaurant to fill your stomach with exquisite food by highly paid chefs ....there';s even a 6-star hotel with 32 suites coming up ... damn this is kewl!!!..


If you calculate....to rent Sepang Circuit for a day....will cost you around RM 100,000.00...multiply that by 100 days...its RM 10,000,000.00...which comes to 2,127,659.00 Euros...and that's just for 1 year....for da whole of 30 years...assuming you live long enough racing everyday and STILL....live for that 30 years, you pay....466,000 Euros...(RM 2.19 million)...so...you are paying dat whole sum of 30 years...for a year of usage in Sepang (100days)....don't you think its a bargain!!!....so people...if you have spare change..go and join...Quanzilities encourages you for a money saving bargain!!!...

update update....

This is da last dat i can talk about my kereta...NO MONEY LIAO!!>>BROKE!!!!....hahaa....ok ok ....i finally got the mountings of my 4-point harness correct...initially the shoulder strap wuz bolted at the seat mounting..it wasn't properly mounted and the previous mounting will cause injury to the shoulder blade if sth bad happens....i had to mount it there because i couldn't think of a beter place...finally....after fiddling around the interior...i found this label on my seats.....ISOFIX (it's a standardised mountings for all childseats)...





























These ISOFIXes are acatually for baby seats to mount securely on da back seats...but .... do i look like i have a baby to mount at da back of my car?....since its there....i shall put it to good use...muahaha...i went to Bunnings to get 2 safety hooks....those that you use when doing rock climbing to hook yourselves.....alrite...this wuz how it looked like:






















There's no place left for da passenger behing my seat...hahah...but those mountings are easily removable...so..no worries...this is more like da WRC car mounting style....damn superb....now there's nomore flex from da belt caused by da tunnel of my bucket seats....



































ok...now the pedals....didn't post about these pedals coz i couldn't find a way to get the clutch pedal mounted properly onto the pedal itself...finally managed to get it stuck there for good....hahha....its custom made by my friend from Penang....full carbon fibre....its just purely for looks...no function at all...hahaha...now it looks like PAGANI ZONDA!!...haha....
That's about all that i have to talk about ma babeh...shall update once her shoes are here and installed....still looking around for tyres....confused over whats suitable....heheheh....aight...
