The recent...

Tampines...
- Didn't perform well in the open drift...Dunno why, but the car dun have grip at all...Forget it...

- Joined the Sprint 2 endurance, only challenge was from Adil...He's one of the top Mini-Z drivers I know last time, so it was pretty hard to pull away from him...If not for his hardware failure, I doubt we could place first...

- Never joined the 23T as I want to take a break from RC...

Funan...
- Joined 23T...Car was sliding here and there without grip...Thats irregardless of traction compound, cleaning, etc...Tried to set the car with various settings...But simply dunno why car doesn't work at all...Today got 4th...Not bad for a tail-happy car, and 2nd overall...again...

- Joined Sprint 2 endurance, but without the car I set previously...It was loaned to Team Fast & Furious (TFF) and that car seemed to be alot more stable than the one I was using, which is Julia's car...TFF had a problem with the motor at the last 10mins where I was probably 27laps away...I calculated that I need 6-8 mins to catch up and we did catch up to 2nd place...1st place had a grippier car which solves everything that I want Julia's car to have...

- Overall track, is utter crap...Lots of red FUR, lots of spinouts...If it was the same carpet, the whole race would be successful, fast and very happening...Now is just watching everyone try not to spinout while some had more grip than others...

- Grand Finale luckydraw...Abit unfair when they said everyone has a chance at taking home something...Nobody expected the something to be a bag...YES a BAG...Till now I'm still wondering why I only have 1 chance at the lucky draw even though I participated in 2 endurance races...Is it because my name wasn't inside? Hmm dunno...

If they want to make everyone happy with the lucky draw, they should restrict those who got something already, to items that are leftovers...At least everyone would get something nice and not a bag...


Conclusion:
1. Funan carpet is crap...It makes everything disappointing...Elsewhere is pretty nice unless its wet...
2. Transponder system is lousy...
3. Lucky draw is not lucky at all...With several people getting stuff for 3-5 times...While some have nothing else than a bag...
