A big thank you to all involved in organising Round 4 - the weekend ran like a Japanese watch - the action ticked over surely and smoothly, without any fuss!
Bringing in the Chief Scrutineer from Indonesia was also a wonderful idea and we hope it will be written into the new SOP for every race. After the final scrutineering there was a lot of talk by the non-Kartmore teams about the rules. Apparently we were under the mistaken impression that the Rotax series is for box-stock, "out of the factory" spec engines. We now know that you can improve the engines, provided the factory tolerances are strictly followed. ...We predict a whole lot of hard work for mechanics in the three weeks before Round 5.
For the first time I watched every minute of every final [yes, even the DD2, for Fei Hoong's display of rally driving] because all the races had exciting battles.
The number of incidents in the Junior Final is something to be looked at in future races. These are young and eager drivers who do not have much experience yet, so we would not like to see anyone getting hurt or getting discouraged and leaving the sport.
One suggestion to the sponsors - the show is fantastic, so it seems like a shame that only family and friends turned up to watch. A small investment in publicity would bring a big return in exposure and, since PLUS is the main sponsor, it would bring an immediate return on investment from the tolls collected from spectator vehicles!
Finally, congrats to Siti Shahkirah and Rahul - two great drives in the Junior Final that were rewarded with nice trophies...
