MORE PICTUREs from winter holidays

On the way to Winton Raceway....2.5 hours trip from Melbourne....20 laps in Winton...and another 2.5 hours cruise back...a very tiring but memorable day

Our machines cooling down after one of the sessions....woooh!!!.....25litres of petrol for 60kms in the track...thats 41litres/100kms....factory specification is 10.7 l/100km...muahaha...that's what happens when your rpm never dropped below 4000rpm for 60kms

Getting my muffler changed for the standard muffler before the road trips

Before : The OEM junk rims..you can see in the background this picture was taken before the my neighbour's new house was even built...hahah

After : 17' 225/45/R17 + Kakumei Lowering Springs...muahah...and in this picture...in the background..my neighbour's house has already been built...haha...

Not much has been done this 2 months...been busy with uni work and also examinations...last semester of my life...have to work xtra hard to finish it off with flying colours..muahaha.... i have removed the straight thru muffler...went for a few road trip last winter holidays...can't imagine cruising with the exhaust so loud...had to get it removed....

I have recently found this chip (PowerChip) that modifies the ECU maps to increase the engine limits..apparently it increases by 14kw (18bhp) on the flywheel and also increases the torque by 23Nm....am thinking of putting it soon...but only if i recover from my financial crisis...hahaha...

went to Winton RaceWay last winter holidays as well....took the car for a spin...it wuz awesome...there were too many cars there and too much octanes being burnt in a day..hahah...wuz one of the slowest in the straight there...most are turbocharged or muscle cars...but managed to keep up with them in the corners....lousy ang mors...haha....

Anyways...gotta go already....shall try and update more often...hehe...2 assignments due next week...one on monday another on friday...have to go thru sleepless nights again liao....but its ok...there's no more chance to enjoy a students life after this semester...*fingers crossed*....take care ppl

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!!!...

BAHRAIN NIGHTMARE!!!!!

Last week in Bahrain!!....wuz a disaster for Fernando Alonso...man....it wuz a tough race for him...apparently his car was damaged...but watever it is...HE'S STILL THE DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPION!!!...muahahah....his start was very impressive...gaining a place from Kimi after a few corners!!...Ferrari is SLOw.....S.L.O.W!!!....Lewis Hamilton did a great job...2nd place again....Massa wuz alrite...recovering from his stupid race in Sepang the week before...

Start of the race!...look at Alonso...already side by side with kimi..

Alonso taking Kimi on the inside..

AND VOILA!!!.....Mc.Laren 2 & 3 for the 1st stint of the Bahrain GrandPrix....

damn he did not keep that place...finishing 5th for this grandprix after Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber overtook him after the 2nd pit stop....so now...its Fernando Alonso at 22 points..with Kimi and Lewis sharing the 1st spot of the driver's championship points...22 as well...

Mc.Laren retains its number 1 in constructor's title...followed by the losers..(Ferrari)...muahaha....
